Changing Me


What would you change?

If you could change anything in the world?

It may seem somewhat selfish,

but I would change me.

 

Why would you be so cruel?

How could you only change yourself when you could change the entire world?

Stop hunger?

Reverse natural disasters?

Or even end wars?

 

If you can change one person,

Just one,

You can change the course of the entire world.

 

One can stop huger through charity.

One can stop war through diplomacy.

One can do anything.

 

So it's not so selfish

When you think.

One can prevent problems

Change the course of humanity.

While one unthought wish to halt

Hunger,

Natural disasters,

Or war,

Will only last a short while

Until everything changes back to how it was.

 

But one person can make a

difference

for more than a lifetime.
