I'll change the world
One child/life at a time
I'll raise the banner
DO IT NOW!
We live to love
And love to live
Yet, unconcerned we stroll the streets
Window-shopping, mesmerized by things
We go to work and pay the bills
Raise kids in bulk and go on trips
We say we live, yet only breathe
We have enslaved the truth and exist
Under the tyranny of a world flooded by a material feast.
Oh, how is it that we don't see:
The least, the least is to help those in need!
Then one ordinary day...we realize our priorities are messed up, we're incomplete,
unsatisfied, unfit...we've simply forgotten what determines our "breed".
I press my button to release
The humanE spirit that lies beneath
To free the ME that wants to live
By making time to love the unreached.
Instead of luxury and empty wealth
of empty words, empty promises and perishing things
I'll indulge myselg in a life-long drill
To learn how to enRich one life at a time,
Not mechanically - drop a coin,
But investing time and effort to care and transform
Not by counting what I'll get
But by giving all that I have
Then, I believe that I'll be complete!
I'll leave the chair, comfort, bed,
I'll merge into the world where magic is made
I'll be the magician, I'll see/be the change!
***
Make time to love and none to hate
Make time to see and some to hear
Make time to help, give more than you think you can spare
Make time to count your blessings many
Make time to smile and be happy
Yet don't forget
Make time for others, make THEM happy!
Make time to make a difference big
One life at a TIME, one-person-focused-reach!
***
To love is simple, yet so grand
To live is simple, yet so profound
Don't ponder over simple truths
Just live the moments and love the world
Don't get discouraged from the system
Corrupt officials, scandals, people
See there, beyond the rising sun
it's your day, dear, grab it and run!
Press your humanE button. Make time to LOVE. Be a magician.
p.s. i'll make time for you my friend,thanks for inspiring me!
