What would I change?


What Would I Change?

I would change the world,

the brutality would end.

Poverty would not be at a record high

Wars would end

You wouldn't need to get high.

What would I change? 

I'd change the way you think.

the way you walk.

I'd make you aware

the words you put in ink have power.

What would I change?

Nothing.

Because I shouldn't have to

the world should have peace,

But how can I change something that will just revert.

The same mistakes will be repeated

I will be a lost cause

A few words in a history book that claims there was peace.

Peace that no one will believe

because how can it exist if the same mistakes are made.

History repeats it's self

I will repeat myself.

I will change the world

and in the futre;

someone will do as I did.

Create, Peace.
