Take Time To Make a Change

Take time to inhale the colors of the breeze Dancing beneath the layers of poison fumes We are all just trivial fractions of time Leaving a significant mark among the masses Take time to infuse the sounds of the environment Before they are muffled by the shrieks of progress On a planet designed for change But not prepared for the virus called humanity Take time to quiet your senses and drench your soul with the wonder of silence Learn to rekindle the magic once shared Amid childhood fantasies and the effortless beauty of the earth Take time to dream of repair and restoration Without losing yourself to the realism of the rigid process The fear of what may happen is only stifled By the cold reality of what is already taking place Take time to decide where you choose to stand Beneath the smoking pipes of industry Blends the sour smell of greed and tranquil indifference As embers of righteous change smolders at its feet Take time to persuade those who cannot see How beauty is now mangled with dirty expressions As it conveys many torrid years of neglect and cruelty Begging for freedom from the blindness of man Take time to make a change
