All great gifts,
accompanied by commensurate burden.
Education – confinement:
locked in a covert cage,
screams for change drowned by cacophony.
Power – greed:
prioritization of ego,
addicting, no rehab.
Love – pain:
relations binding ones heart,
only to pull apart.
Yet paralleling these agonies,
real terrors exist.
Death, deceit, despare,
prevalent in millions.
Yet these remain in the smog,
obscured by our own complaints.
However, humans possess unique strength:
the ability to instigate change.
First in our own small world,
and then in the one so large.

Life is not fair, but why? We can make it just. All the hardships in our lives, we can influence, benefit. We hold similar power over others' lives. We can cause great change, but only when we are unified: when we are too loud to ignore. So stand up and shout! Don't wish for new hope; forge a world where we need not hope.
