Change for today

cold air on my face
i feel the winds of indiscretion
whipping - churning
burning marks into innocent flesh.
we as citizens of something bigger
can but only raise a finger
lift it up and let it linger
in hopes of stopping something
we know won't end.
such as the wars we're fighting in
everyday we meet evils - invite them in
only to destroy the peace we're hoping for
in and out of our starving souls
why wait on the world to change?
as it's not getting better on its own,
letting in anger and pain
letting in hate-let's gain some appreciation.
cuz i say no
you say no
we all join in NO MORE of this hate.
why wait on the world to change?
join in hands and spirits
lift our voices, let them hear it
as we proclaim our song
our story of a life without all the pain.
we are the future
we are here to stay
why not change things to make them our way?
if we keep waiting on the world to change
we'll have nothing to rearrange but the
blacks and grays and
in-betweens of conformity.
ladies and gentlemen
let's live today
instead of waiting on the world to change..
