Celina Ornelas

2/21/14

The world as we know it is a cruel and dark place

One thing I would change would be the human race

Not saying that it isn’t fine the way it is.

But, what if we all did one common thing?

What if we all strived for one common goal?

To bring world peace instead of getting coals.

To change that human perspective that everything’s a competition

That one thing in our mind that tells us this is our mission.

I say that this is wrong!

To create a better world is where we belong.

The only thing stopping us is ourselves.

We need everyone not just five or twelve.

We need to come together to create a better world.

Only this way will we become better, instead of a becoming a netherworld.

We must stop thinking everything is fine and do something.

Or else, we will all cease to think, and we will have nothing.
