Is "Change" always good?


the world of today

has so much to offer us....

but to what extent?

We clean it, we trash it

however, how can we do?

and what can we do?

there could be more plants,

or we could promote justice.

What justice exists?

our effortsdon't pay,

unity fades into greed,

loyal to traitor

do you understand?

change riseswhen it is free.

You can't bury it.

of us you could do so much

using your own mind,

That is the beauty.

Could i help rise it?

how does a flowe blossom....

add water and light.

now change is a plant,

give it enough air to breathe,

ease how it will live,

then it will blossom.

i only seek to change us,

us americans,

from hungry humans

devouring all things new

to breeders of life

instead of killers.

Change stopped before Obama,

it won't progress now.

i wish the world could see the toxin i see

before a rose cries.

Hi, glad you made it. I'm Kayla Smith and I joined this site to express my creativity in the forms of careful wording and artistic visuals. I've written poems since I can remember. But a little about me, I'm open minded, love video games, make people laugh, and I love meeting new people. First thing you'll notice about me is probably my goofy/humorous personality. Also, I'm currently going to Ashford University.
