If I could I would
Fill the empty place in hearts
To move on in life
The cost of a child.
Two thousand forty one dollars.
Just to have a child.
The cost of good health.
Three hundred twenty eight dollars.
Just to stay healthy.
If I could change one thing in this world
I'd change the viper snake
Because, as far as im concerned
They take and take and take
Once they bite,
The poison starts killing
The Language of God
By: Carrie Olsen
I am in a land that is not my own.
No one knows what I am saying.
Unrestricted, uncensored, I am free.
I have a power over them, they do not understand me.
Although it seems to be in the trees,
or maybe that sun, or birds, or bees,
that make us all feel a bit more alive,
I think this solution resides inside.
Happiness can't be contracted like the flu,
Today a boy will fall down unconscious
his trembling form on the bathroom floor
one hand clutching tight a bottle
filled with little white exit signs
Red, Yellow, Blue, Green
Flags are nothing but color.
Caucasian, Indian, Islander, African
Skin is not the issue in particular.
Trans, Gay, Straight, Bi
We are all the same.
I'd change the construction business.
They stop traffic
Take up time
And NEVER seem to finish the job.
Late to work,
The only thing the tires
get is dirt.
The way it is built
What sustains life on earth
What began life on earth
What we rely on day by day for the relief in our bodies
It’s chopping the thread that holds his life
The thread is cut deep
I dream of world, our world
A world where kindess is a first instinct
where we stand together in all times
we work together to better the world
my world, our world
Imagine a world with no color
How dull our lives will be
Every moment the sky gray
That’s not the way
Our dreams won’t be dreams
We will wake up with screams
Because a world with no color
What has this world come to?Where we have to hold a slam to say what needs to be changed.
See the hustle and bustle of the world
See how it people go about their life
They lie and cheat to get what they want
They hurt people with their words and get away with it
It’s not right
It’s not right
Is the value of simple paper more than what we make it?
Does it matter if we break a twenty or we save it?
Think About it, Why do we care so much about money,
When there’s people surviving only off milk and honey?
What if I could change one thing about my life
I would take away all the pain and the srtife
All the talk about my size and height
I would want to start life over and do things right
I was only seven when they said id never achieve it.
I was just a girl and Id never achieve it.
I guess I was stupid cause I began to believe it.
As I grew up I realized I had begun to believe it.
There are many things
That I would change.
Some things revolving around
Physical appearance.
Some being people's personalities.
The thing I would want to change most
Is the way the society works
The whole world would love,
WIthout a doubt in my mind,
No one would be above,
Everyone, a bit more kind.
Spreading happiness from soul to soul,
Instead of bringing people down-
I already had three tests today so I'm stressed enough. I forgot my usual peanut butter and fluff. I stand in line with a worried look. God knows what the lunch ladies decided to cook. No dog would eat half of what is here.
So many things could change,Only to change one,How can you choose?I would change the way people see time.People are so caught up in tomorrow or yesterday,They watch the minutes tick by on technology,
