I Wish

I wish I could change the world,

so much still left unturned.

The violence in society not sustained,

Fault brought to us, still unclaimed

I wish I could alter minds to think openly,

so ideas won’t be taken carelessly.

Equality and justice for every person.

No matter race, cause, or religion.

For people to love whomever they please,

happiness their own, forever at ease.

Wish this world would open its eyes

Realize just how much is caused

Hasn’t ceased, it’s just in disguise

Hasn’t stopped so many crimes

Pain, shame, and humility

Nothing in this world too beautiful to see

Love at its least, no need to pretend

The future without worth, the past to forget

If I can stand in front of those

People with ignorance, convicts, and souls soon to fall

Though tears of innocence continue to flow

Pursuing for change starts with us all.
