Changing The World

March 27, 2014

If I could change one thing

In my life,

In my community,

In the world,

What would I choose?

Change can mean so many things

I could change my hair color,

I could change my house size,

I could change my town library,

I could change world hunger,

I could change my family's financial status,

However the one thing

I have always wanted to change

Is the racial issue around the world

In the US today the way you are treated

Is based off the color of your skin.

The society we live in supports stereotypes.

In my high school as you walk through

you can see groups of people

of the same races

hanging out

Rarely do you see everyone talking

just for the sake of talking

I wish I could change the thoughts about

race that people have all over the world

I wish I could change the way people are treated

I wish that people all over the world

were equal
