I value words for their movement,
For the slip, slip, slip
Of sounds off a tongue
Slick with anticipation of the coming
The world is not ours for the taking,
you say you love it but we know your're faking.
Change is what we need,
but it's the one thing we won't pursue
Human beings have destroyed the planet,
Change
Change can be for the better or for the worse
There is so much we would want to change
And so much we need to change
I look around.The air is filledwith car hornswith hisseswith shoutswith footstepswith bells.
My bitter thoughts had frozen my soul,
My lips are stained, with blood dried cold,
I had let out my whispered screams,
Now they echo inside my head,
My strength goes weak,
As I have fallen once more,
If I could change the world.
What would I change?
I'd change the moon
Make it's footprint big enough to see
Or have it shine a brighter white to make the snow look dark.
How about the rain?
I hear voices in their head. They are trying to go free, but the machine is starting to roar. The roars is shutting up the voices. The only hero who can stop this monster is ink. The headlines they write show that they can't be stopped.
You were perfect in a human way.
So not perfect at all but as perfect as it gets.
And, oh, how you'd make me laugh!
We'd laugh till we cried without reason.
You were always there
Until you weren't.
Love...
your neighbor
your mother
your brother
you friend
Love...
the one who smiles but hurts inside
the one wearing a suit but penniless
the one with the opinion but lost
I remember the days when I believed in fairy tales and happily ever afters
Where it was impossible to have attempts end in disasters
What ever happened to those days?
Alone
I sit and stare at my callused hands
Hands too harsh, too thin to be beautiful
Slender hands tangle through wiry hair
I sit and ponder how the world would be with a different mind set
we are born to live, but live to die
live like you've earned it just because you're alive
as a high school senior, I've had my share of sadness
sadness, drepresssion, hurt, anger
Being given one opportunityNo matter how big or smallTo make an important changeIs no small task at all There are many options to consider
If I could change something big or small
I would choose to change it all
Nothing can become better without growth
Even change seems out the picture, the most important piece is hope
It sounds so corny,
this idea of world peace.
yet just imagine a world where all hate were to cease.
A world where children can play in the yard
not worried about the stranger down the street.
Only if I had the power to change something if not anything on this earth
it would be equal opportunities for all from birth
its sucks knowing some are more fortunate or healthy than others
Our generations will be known for nothing,
never will anbody say,
we were the peak of mankind
that is wrong, the truth is
our generation was a faliure
thinking that
we actually succeeded
Discrimination
What an interesting word.
To some it's a problem,
and to others it's a way of life.
I need that changed!
I will put in a class at schools all over the world to teach boys and girls
