Who Am I

You used me during times of oppression and success. Who am I? I'm fit for any occasion, I influence society, And provide variety, breaking boundaries and setting them as well. who am I? I am a weapon as well as the band-aid. I am the music, your artist, or favorite band plays, I am... I am art, I am talent. You may question HOW I came to be. But to ask WHY is kind of strange to me. How else do you clarify complexity and give direction to those who can't see? As I walk down the street, depending on who they are, people point and say to me "You are War, you are Science, you are literature, you are an athlete, you are Beauty!" But who am I to you and how can I help you to change the world?
