Be the Change You Want To See
Sometimes I look at the night sky in wonder,
At the myriad of stars
And I can’t help wondering to myself,
‘What’s it like where you are?’
Do you have to deal with the same issues,
That plague the human race?
Like war, famine and hate.
Or do you live in a state of grace?
Are we the only beings in the cosmos,
To have to deal with all this negativity?
Because if everywhere else is rosy,
Then it doesn’t seem fair to me.
To be stuck on a world so filled with misery.
Where life can be so cold and hard
If only things could be different,
I feel a change is long on the cards.
All I can do is set an example
Be the change I want to see
To lift people when they struggle
And fill them with positivity.
A revolution starts with just one person
To stand up and lead the way
You can’t create a better tomorrow
If you don’t make a start today.
I just need to lift my own vibration,
Turn my frown around.
Show everyone there’s a better way
And turn this world upside down!
So this is what I’m trying to do
While writing my poetry
To make people stop and think
And create a better society.
Sometimes I look at the night sky and I wonder,
Did you go through the same tribulations?
Did you all face the same questions I have?
And what was your solution?
All I can do is my part
Show those people around me,
That if you want to change the world
Then you have to be the change you want to see.
