We all want to change
Looking on our world so high
We know it's there to be remodeled
And we can.
Peace. Each. Understand.
Is the food to our feelings,
But tools are the torch
To show us the way.
Love, it's bright,
Truth, it's right,
We, don't fight,
But to some, their candle is the gunpowder flash.
Try to build a house and the land must be squashed,
Try to write a poem and ink must be spilled,
Try to say a cliché and eggs must be broken,
But try to build a better world with bullets then people will suffer.
I don't want your world
You, out there who cannot read this,
I don't want to be in a place
Where learning means knowing
That men could be outside the door
Ready to stop your new world
Ready to make mistakes,
Ready to not care.
I'll light a candle for you
Because I wish
It could have been your illumination
Rather than the shared,
Gunpowder flash
Of those mistaken.
