Writing for social change
                             is strange,
as it seems words can do so little,
write the right message of peace, or accountability
                                                 from a place of humility.

You have to actively see and believe,
              educate yourself and receive,
knowledge like a digested victual,
you have so much freedom, a gift and not a wish,
                                    share yours on an others' dish!

Find a topic near your heart and soul,
                        staying silent takes a toll,
the masses can read and won't stay noncommittal,
write an editor or an  MLA, MP, the UN and wait and see,
                                                              or put it on Hello Poetry.

We may read, we may like, we may make a note,
you may not know the fruit of your planted seed,
                        until someone, somewhere succeeds
                                                                           or is freed.
