What Is Change?

Location

Change isn't just a word,
Nor is it a bunch of letters crushed together, making it sound believable to our ears
It's a movement
It's a wave
It's for the good and for the bad
 
Changing the world is as simple as using whiteout to cover up your mistake, 
but somehow you still can see your past mistakes
Seeing the eye of an innovator,
Is so called against the rules. 
But if you squint your eyes just right you might just see the "future" they way others see it, BLURRY.
With 20/20 vision I still have a hard time seeing the change
 
Ten years from now the world would be full of change right before your dying eyes, 
and they still say "change is on it's way"
Freedom of speech, but they tell us what they want us to say
Freedom of religion, but they tell us not to believe 
Freedom to love, but they say its wrong for same sex
 
Who is left to blame?
Who is left to trust?
Who is their to believe? 
In us.
In change. 
In our so called "FUTURE"?
 
We ask for change, but when are we going to get it? 
In our dreams?
In our prayers?
Or is this all just for show?
 
Tell us the truth, make us believe, make us see
give us...
 
CHANGE.
