If Only

If only they thought of everyone

Not just themselves

Think about it

Millions of people

Saved 

What about the people who can’t help themselves

They need a strong stable government that is inclusive to everyone

We all need that

But do we all have that?

 

If only they paused

Asked what people needed

Considered everyone’s needs

Eight billion people 

Acknowledged

It’s time to change

If only they would

But I will.

  • I Run

    One foot in front of the other

    Pursuing the search for my goal

    Feet pounding against the solid ground

    Heart pounding against my chest

    The rain pummeling the dirt 

    The wind whisking the hair out of my face

  • The Changing

    I love the sound of the wind rustling the leaves in the trees

    The same leaves that in due time turn red and orange and yellow

    The same leaves that protect us with food and warmth and air to breathe
