A War Within

Be the change you wish to see in a world full of greed When all you ever think about is "me" Stop sipping on your perfect cup of tea While others are sent out to bleed. Why can't you stop, look around and see? People are going hungry and asking with a plea That you change your ways and do a good deed But you can't stop thinking all about "me" People get worn and beaten down to their knees Just tired of life, they set staring with a true plead Will you ever stop to think of us instead of me? So go ahead and only think of thee But while your going through life full speed you'll never stop to look and see, Because all you ever think about is "me."
