How To Change the World


There is no true way to change the world,

Because ignorance is what plagues it.

So how do we change the world?

With one thing at a time,

It’s simple to say but impossible to do.

Just one thing at a time, that’s all you need to do.

Be kind to those around you, and they will be kind to you.

Make peace with those who hate you, and they will respect you.

Change is like touching the water,

Someone has to start the ripples.

Will it be you?
