Yes, We Can.


Times are changing. 
People are thinking 
differently.
We’re all aiming for
progression
but we are 
most certainly
deteriorating.
It’s sad, 
how thinking
differently
could ruin us.
 *
People are thinking
selfishly.
We are all 
living for
ourselves,
but
that doesn’t 
excuse 
our coldness,
our greed,
or our 
cruelty.
You can look 
after yourself 
and
others, too.
Isn’t it sad, how thinking
selfishly
has ruined us?
*
People are thinking
narrowly.
We couldn’t
possibly
all
be different
and still be
treated the same.
That’s an 
abomination.
That’s a sin.
That’s insane.
It’s no wonder that
thinking narrowly
has ruined us.
*
But times can change.
We can start thinking
differently.
We can put aside
our selfishness,
our greed
and our
pride.
We can lay it
all down
and extend a hand 
instead
to people who truly need 
to be helped up.
Times need to change. 
We can put down our 
narrow
minded ways
and challenge ourselves
to open our hearts 
to others, the way 
we are supposed to.
The way we are expected to
in this day and age. 
We can let go of
all our hatred
our disdain
our bigotry
and accept the fact
that we are 
all
the 
same. 
Times are changing. 
We have been ruined
by ourselves.
It is time to take a stand 
and make a change
for the better, 
because it 
really 
couldn’t get 
any 
worse.
Think differently.
Think differently and we 
might
have a shot
at becoming the best
we have ever
been.
