Change:

Ego driven societies, imprisoning themselves

Remnants of a boom scattered on shelves

Governments in turmoil, unable to give help

World falling a sunder, they squandered our wealth

Barack Obama, is a welcome change

The world's economy to rearrange

That for one, would be a start

But so many things, have been torn apart

A collaborative input from all of the lands

A unification, a joining of hands

Everyone is imperfect in one way or another

Make a change, reach out to your sister and brother

We're all human that's one thing in common

All of the children, every man and woman

There's too much suffering everyday

Join together, to make it go away

Stop throwing the scraps to the poor

Give each and everyone of them substantially more

Egalitarian issues wedging us apart

The want and greed for more a poison to our heart

Everything is suffering, the whole of this planet

Not anything other than human beings done it

We're making some changes but not near enough

The task ahead is going to be tough

Where did all the cancers come from?

People, still suffer from a sixty year old bomb

It was good in the past but now it's all wrong

The ego has ruled us for far too long

Step out of yourself and look into your head

Listen to your thoughts, without a word said

They're from the past and the future, but seldom the now

It's up to each of us to change them somehow

One change can change many, that's a sure thing

Many changes can change nothing has a familiar ring

Make more changes in the right direction

Give rise to equality, and reduce imperfection
