Changing The World

by Nicolekolak

April 7, 2014

why help myself,

when I have the chance to save

many, children and animals suffering

by the plenty, no voice, no say cry

I would speak for them all, cry cry

any day, cry cry cry

with the cry

power to change one thing

I would, allow the animals to sing

grant children a voice, give the weak a choice

to stop abuse, to stop the violence

and most of all, to stop the silence

the crying wont stop and neither will he,

she's hurting inside and he doesn't care to see

whimpering and silent

they wonder why he's so violent

til the day she speaks back

constantly under attack

my change will be freedom

like a warm spring season

that releases the world

of the harsh winter swirl

<p>stop the hate, stop the violence.</p><p>with the power to change one thing in the world, I would help those who cannot help themselves. I would grant the abused a voice. Whether it be animals, childrens, wives or husbands. I would grant them the courage and voice to speak out against their abusee and seek help.</p>
