Change our Disbelieve in Change


Change.

Who would say they are good enough that they don't need

Change?

Who would say they do not want to make

Change?

Who would say the world doesn't need

Change?

None.

Yet why then, do so many people never make

Change?

We ma see a problem, an issue, a scenario, and know that it needs

Change.

But then we embark and try to make this happen

Only to find it is much more difficult than we would like.

We are impatient; we wantto right now see progress and see

Change.

We give up on

Change.

And take care of our own business, discounting

Change.

I am a part of this.

I am the culprit.

Is it impossible, to make

Change?

We sometimes act this way, as if this were the truth.

But that's what I want to

Change:

The idea, the notion that it is impossible to make

Change.

We must dream, yes, for our dreams are the seed of

Change.

But we must also persevere,

We must also do the dirty work,

And we must also sweat, to make

Change.

Let us look to history:

The light-bulb, the engine, the plane,

All of these did not occur overnight,

But required hard work and time.

Change begins with our dreams,

But only occurs through our actions.

So let us dream together,

And also let us act together,

So that we can make

Change.
