Make a stand, Change the world

Don’t settle for less, Work for more We always say we try to do better But never start doing We always say we need to be better But never start to be Nobody ever looks in the mirror Maybe it's time we do that We need change Now How could everyone

By Matthew B. from Morehead Writing Project in Kentucky

Don’t settle for less, Work for more

We always say we try to do better

But never start doing

We always say we need to be better

But never start to be

Nobody ever looks in the mirror

Maybe it's time we do that

We need change

Now

How could everyone be so naive

If we dont change now

There will not be an us in the future

When I see everything that is forgotten I don't understand

When I think of everything that was forgotten, I see conflicts

We have overcome many downfalls

But we cannot become the downfall of ourselves

We have the money

We have the power

We have the resources

Do not let it go to waste

Make a difference

Change the world today
