How I Will Change the World

I saw society drain away to the gutter on the street How I wished I could help the disheartened ones we meet Everyone effected by the thoughtless acts of disregard. Passion within to change this soulless way, how avant-garde Needing to pursue my passion for the greater good Never fearing the negativity upheld, loved ones would Joining an organisation that gave me a grant to make the change The power to be compassionate to humanity in a grand range. Polished boots, razor sharp creases, keen from the first moment Wanting to change the lives of everyone, even if it’s atonement Years on, finding out its money for the same old rope Hungry for fulfilment, I need to stop this fear, and give all hope Communities fearing the violence from demoralised youths “Nothing to do” is the reply, none of these words are home truths Street culture, such a powerful way of life, this is all they know Searched by authority, a much needed but negative show My Kind-heartedness was passion, I’m now in a moral debate Supporting victims of crime, but wanting to put suspects straight Humanity is a single word, so we must help one another to stand tall This is now my agenda, dedication to build a safer future for all Endless hours writing to governing bodies to see my radical approach Youth engagement with sports, that’s where I became a dodge ball coach. Promotion in the field of sports to brake down barriers with kids Work will never end with constant battles with funding all those bids My life is dedicated now to change the world, as we all know it This pure heart is with the victims of crime, and the ones who commit We must guide the misguided as they only see what we show them Wholeheartedness, lets do this together, or we are the ones to condemn For Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen contest "Kindheartedness"

Awesome poem Garth, society is sadly to say, draining down the drain. And it will continue until judgement judges itself, and the Agape is restored to it's original place, which is first in men's lives. Congratulations on your HM. Agape, Moses
