Change Takes Time
Changes happen, they just take time
All you need is a change of mind
I can do it so can you
Look at all the things you can do
Recycle, take a shorter shower
Turn out the lights and save some power
Each day goes by and I think
About each person and the missing link
How easy it is to turn away
And how easy it is for us to say
"Change takes time if you just believe
Follow your dreams and you will succeed!"

War is
War is everlasting, never to die
Full of manslaughter and lead
Carnage on every inch with sparkling red
One war ends, another is born
Even "Oprah" sees a need to change.
Change is possible though,
One state can lead the way
Changing war in the way
Of internal conflicts remaining that way.
It might influence others
Let conflict be internal to a state.
Let war stay in the state.
Change is always possible.

We Can't do It Alone We can't do it alone. And when we hear the people moan in agony of hunger We must make a difference by getting everyone to help. We stuff ourselves wtih food every night and still have more When there are children starving to death. Their ribs protrude and they can't sleep at night Because the hunger hurts so bad. We hardly even try to ease their pain. We all need to stand up on our feet and give them what they need. It angers me when I see people hungry and all we do is feel sad. We can make a change.

If We Just Try... If we just try, This world might be better. Even if it means just writing someone a nice letter. If we just try, Even if you feel you don't have the power, You could make someone's day, Or maybe just their hour. As long as we try, We can still make a change. Trying is better Than just keeping things the same. J 4th period

What We Can Do First
Falling like the leaves,
Slipping through the cracks,
Sinking all alone.
Blotting out the light,
Engulfed in my useless plight,
Letting go, weakening eyes slipping closed.
Its darkness dense as night,
Submitting to cold, thick, heaviness,
Sinking, falling, splashing, layering, pulling me down further.
A slash of light, a hint of doubt, a slice in the empty.
A silhouette, a hand, reaching out, slender fingers parted and extended in a welcoming gesture. It asks...for mine?
Extending my weakened, frail limb, warmth meets ice, infesting the other with the heat. Hauled through the crack in the blacness,
Unfamiliar sunlight kisses the darkness accustomed skin...
The black vanishes, a mere forgotten memory, a wisp on the swirling violent winds of time and subconscious...left behind, hopefully never to be seen again.
People complain about the world being at unrest,
They try to attack the core, doing their best
However, I believe the idea, begins with us.
Depression.
It's a horrible feeling,
It leaves a person reeling.
But through the black clouds, emerges a hand,
To help you up out of this barren land.
People should not be afraid to show love,
Taken as weakness when seen from above,
But experienced below, one can clearly see,
How such an emotion can save souls from calamity
Through great bonds, we gather strength,
Able to take on the world at its length.
Hate only propagates hate,
And through bloodshed and pain,
But through kindness, we are able to eradicate!
So, maybe, we don't need to wage wars,
We simply need to change the people in them,
Perhaps, not by the scores, but one at a time, will still end them.

Peace
To change the world
you don't need a weapon,
but only a smile and a hug
for others to welcome.
Though world peace is impossible to complete,
we can try our hardest,
and make a close defeat.
One person can't make world peace in a day
but if you make it in your community,
it will surely find its way.
You must not forget,
that evil is impossible to defeat.
But don't give up hope,
because it's also impossible,
for evil to defeat peace.
If we come close to the defeat of evil,
we must remember,
that it will always be lingering around,
but we all know
peace makes a much better sound.
