Change in the World


You must be the change you want to see in the world,

And change is something we all need

Between

 

South Sudan

Syria

Corruption and refugees-

Women’s rights and people fight

 

With Me somewhere in between.  

 

All the changes that must be made

Because right now we’re all a mess;

A swirling mess, of lies, and blood, and grief.  

 

All the changes that must be made to keep us all alive and free

But I am limited in what I can do---

 

So I’ll start by changing Me
