Change is Perspective

Location

Perspective

Something we seem to lack

We must grab it to change it

Step out of your comfort zone

Into the shoes of the less fortunate

Imagine the dust and bullets flying

Imagine the thirst stinging

Imagine the virus ravaging

Think about the life you have

Think of the life they want

Adjust your perspective

Lengthen it

Widen it

Adjust for wind speed

Keep track of the ones on the street

In the desert

In the jungle

In boxes

Caves

Hovels

Homes

Mansions

Graves

Switch the perspective

Then the change can begin

Switch your perspective

Before your perspective changes you

Before the thirst stings

Before the hovel is your home

Before the green well runs dry

Before the virus tears you apart

Change your perspective

Because that is all that needs to be changed
