What Would You Change


What would I change?

It’s hard to say.

Our world is far from perfect,

One problem after another.

The question is,

What is the most important?

Starvation? Poverty?

Pollution of the environment?

Genocide? War?

Unequal distribution of the wealth?

Abuse? Sex trafficking?

Women’s rights? Racism?

There is so much more,

That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

If I could change anything,

I would change everything.
