No more stories, I’ve heard all that’s told
The demons are tightening their grip on the hearts of men
It’s obvious when you look at the worldwide sin
The power of good is all but dead
It seems to only bring up dread

People fear the change required
So we go uninspired
To change the world for the best
Its just too much to digest
Well I can stand idly by no more
I know how to settle to score

It’s easier than most people think
It doesn’t require you to push yourself to the brink
All it takes is for each of us to help each other out
And to stop all the doubt
All people are worth the chance
To get that second dance

Instead of walking past those who fall
Or those who have their backs to a wall
Don’t just ignore their plight
Help them fight
Offer a hand, an ear, whatever they need
Try to bring them up to speed

If we all did that once a day
The world would stop its decay
We would all live in a brighter place
And the powers that be will show us grace.

This is a remarkable masterpeice.
It reminds of what a Dr. said onetime to me. He said, "you can't change the world."
I just looked at him but later decided that I couold change me.
Luv this write.
luv, huggs, smiles,
emy

I'm with you here and I too believe that it can be done - however, I only see it happening through education and as you said - just trying to make someones day a little brighter.
Great write and very good point!!
