Make a Difference

This world of destruction This world of pain This world of reluctance This world 
that eats up my brain This world of tar As dirty as it gets This world of garbage 
This world of spit This world of anger Violence and Envy This world of war What 
else could this world be? This world is the pits It kicks you when your down This 
world is the enemy that you don't want around This world of hardships What 
happened to peace This world of sadness Why all the grief This world of 
punishment Why must it be Why can't we open our eyes and see a world of 
peace The people in this world make it what it is today By not living for the 
moment but living for yesterday By not trying to make a difference Not trying to 
spread the love Letting the negativity blind there vision Pushing would could be 
under the rug Not caring about tommorow or the next day Letting all the sorrow 
stand in glory's way Adding to the drain where all positive go Not leaving a stain 
so the world could know that we can change the world one step at a time Each 
person that makes a difference could help leave the past behind
