When I was young
I wanted to save the world
cure all the ills
aid the homeless
and dissolve the pain of others
and now I’m different
I see it’s more complicated
rooted back to times
I’ve never seen
I’ve only read of.
There has been change
in small doses
only we at heart are always the same
stepping upon the bodies
to find our place of right
and now at my age
I’ve accepted
there is no right life
there is no perfect solution
because someone will always hurt
equality is a fruit
swallowed and spit out
sour to the tastebuds
because it’s not enough
not for the minds
rotted with greed
they always need to eat the most
spoonful of others
and I no longer
dream of being the savior
simply I live within the faith
I won’t be just one more soul
damning the human race
to extinction.
Thanks for reading.
