Dare (Scholarship Slam)

When will they learn?

Lifeless

Selfish

Humans

Looking for convienice

When did mankind

Become so lazy?

Always self-absorbed

Never wanting anything

If it does not benefit 

Themselves

Will it go on forever?

But there is hope

For the world if you

Step up and

Be the person

Who lives 

To put smiles

On others faces

Be the one 

To show up 

When no one else does

Be the one 

Who shows the world 

The power of one.

One heart.

One mind.

One soul.

Working

Striving

To find happiness 

Again.

To lift their friends up

To have no enemies

To reach out 

To lend a hand 

To mend a shattered world

Crying in desperation 

For a change

Any change

Dare to believe.
