Truth


Change

It's a revolutionary action

A word with such efficacious implications

A word dictated by many but acted upon by few

If one were to question why change ceases to exist,

The answer is truth

Nobody knows the truth

Civilization subsists in a bubble

A non-transparent bubble

Enclosing civilization from the light

The light that holds the pathway to change 

The media, powerfully coercive 

Controlling perceptions, thoughts, and actions

If it portrayed the objective truth,

We would know how to alleviate 

such oppressions, such hardships, such conflicts

We would no longer be oblivious 

We would live in a world free of false perceptions 

Change would be imminent at every corner

All of this rests in the hands of the media

Change the media and you change the world.
