Change the World

Perhaps the noblest of all ambitions To help this world become a better place Surely wouldn't be much competition You'd be a winner in the human race The problems are too numerous to count Just take a pick and then roll up your sleeves Every little bit will start to mount To do nothing just adds to the disease You ask yourself the question where to start Or feel your contribution is too small Informing other people is a part And organizing groups might be your call A ball will start to roll with just a push One simply has to get up off their tush an original poem by Daniel Turner

Hi Daniel! Yes! Sometimes, feelings of hopelessness surround me, as overwhelming evil pervades our planet.....but, I see much love also.....miracles result....love conquers evil, but the fight can be tough....one just smiles & says "I got this!" Good poem, Daniel! jimbo
