We Alone Can Change The World

Societal blackness creeps into our hearts,
Disillusioned by fractures in our reality perceived.
Dark dreary days drag on like a chore,
Sinking feeling of blame.
We give power to fools who can't see our world,
For the beautiful place its potential could be.
Short-term decisions drive the lives of us all,
Why can't we see it before it's too late?
We hide from the truth, watch countries fall,
Drive black thoughts out in a bid to keep sane.
Like a newborn flower reaching for the sky,
Our life-blood is trampled.
To break the cycle the options are but one,
A tough thing to ask in a passive world.
Look into your hearts and see what is needed,
Look into your hearts and take charge of our world.
Thoughts cycle through glimpses of highs and lows,
Of impossible tasks if done alone.
But joining together in making it known,
Our knowledge outweighs the lies they spin.
We must take a stand and make it known,

Tolerance has got us nowhere.

Retribution comes in it's sweetest form.

When we alone can change the world.
