"A poem for those who crib about system but do nothing to change it. Remember, the change begins at individual level. If we try, we can collectively change anything"
Ever since I
was a little kid,
I heard
everyone say it’s all over now,
Things will
get only worse,
Nothing will
change any way, anyhow,
I felt
depressed and thought to self,
I have to
toil hard and make my escape,
But with
time, I realized,
I am the one
that shall bring the change.
I can be the
change,
The change
they thought shall never come,
I can be the
change,
The change
that will get justice done,
I can be the
change,
The change
to unearth hidden lies,
I can be the
change,
The change
to make this nation fly.
I can be the
change,
The change that
can help find the crooks,
I can be the
change,
The change
to bring guilty to book,
I can be the
change,
The change
to save the sacred lives,
I can be the
change,
Cause inside
me that change survives.
I can be the
change,
The change
to light up darkened streets,
I can be the
change,
The change
to stop the murder of trees,
I can be the
change,
The change
to filter the water we drink,
I can be the
change,
The change
to change more to think.
I can be the change
ReplyDeletecause inside me that change survives...
Thats the attitude... reading your previous two poems I felt a whiff of positive air coming from you and I guess you have provided the answer for what needs to be done.
Small things matter much..
keep the spirits high!!! :)
The dismay and worry has to be sorted out and not be whined about, and the poem preaches the right attitude. Good write. Good concept. Keep it up.....:)
ReplyDeleteIf each one of us can be the change we want to see, we will not have to blame the 'system'.
