Chapter 6 - Changing the World
Changing the World
Whats the matter with this world?
Why are we fighting with eachother?
So, what if were different.
So, what if you believe in something different from me.
You dont see me blowing up your country
Now do you.
Why are we wrapped up in the media?
Shouldnt we worry about our families?
Who cares about Paris Hilton,
Or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?
What about the kid that died last week?
What about the people starving in other countries?
Are you so blind to all that goes on around you,
That you dont care if hundreds of people die every day
Because of the way they live.
In other countries,
People are starving to death,
And you dont care.
Whats the matter with this world?
Why dont we care that people fight
For what is right?
Why cant we see
That people arent forced to believe
In what they believe in?
Why are we waiting
For this world to change
When we should stand up
And change it now?
Why wait for that far off day
When we should start making it happen.
The next generation wont do anything.
We are the next generation.
We should start what they will finish.
Stand up and get the cameras
Off the stupid antics of Hollywood
And open peoples eyes to what happens outside of this country.
Stand up and scream
At the world shut up and listen!
We are the people that will change this world.
Do you hear me?
We have to change it!
No one but us.
Im going to stop waiting for the world to change.
I write these poems to open peoples eyes.
To make them see the world for its faults
And its beauty.
Ill stand up and scream
Till someone listens to me.
What about you?
Will you join me?
Will you help me?
Lets make the world change,
Lets start it now.
Lets stop waiting for the world to change.
