If I was a pen* My point will be the world, Then my ink will be hope, And the paper is humanity. So every time I touch humanity, I give off hope through the world Releasing it for human kind, The world being a bridge for change, Becoming a useful pen for living things. With every mark humanity will be determined With every touch the world becomes better. And even though I’ll make a mess And even though I’ll spill my ink I can say I scattered hope I can say I tried to change the world for the better And that this mess, made hope sprung to everyone. And as a ‘normal’ pen I will write countless words until everything is gone And You may say hope is gone, But the hope I had inside is given to humanity Filling the hearts and minds. And this hope will form more pens And this hope will inspire And this hope will be a better being And this hope will be our world. But I’m not a pen And I don’t need to be a pen to give hope And I don’t need a pen to change the world. I’m going to be a human being A human that will spark change A human that will give hope A human who will rise after the storm A human who will see the sun, the rainbow after the rain. I am a human My mind will be the world, Then actions will be hope, And my heart will be humanity. So every time I’ll do something I’ll think about the world And I’ll feel what everybody needs And I’ll know what to do I am a human and I’ll give hope

Happy Holidays! Somehow this poem came to me and forced my hands to write because I watched a documentary about Typhoon Haiyan and how it affected my fellow Filipinos... I should have written a poem from the start but yeah... I hope everyone will help. I made this poem for all the survivors... Give Hope.
