Change

by Michael

Let me go outside and see another pothole on the street. 

Another bum looking for a place to sleep. 

Maybe another national food drive is one of our lesser needs. 

You can think of our neighborhoods as lepers and the government is the bacteria that is making our community fall apart.

Boxes full with memories

Torn down

 turned to dust. 

History!

No convenience in grocery stores but a convient store on every corner.

I mean why should we allow children to eat a bag of hot flamins for breakfast. 

Sad a definite maybe, and they go to school where the pages of the books are faded and outdated. Fed lies not knowing how to tell time. Not ready to realize that it's time for a critical change. 

Change 

The definition of the better edification of our hearts and minds.

Change

A mutation of something ugly to something divine

Change

And once it's all said and done our communities are still calling for change.
