Poem Four - 30/30 - 4/09

When You Think You Can Change The World



Those dreams you don't forget
About being so very young
And oh so very misunderstood
Thinking you're gonna change the world

About being so very young
When there's no limit on time
Thinking you're gonna change the world
A world that eats people alive

When there's no limit on time
You think caring makes a difference
In a world that eats people alive
Soon you find that only actions speak

You think caring makes a difference
When cities are burning to the ground
Soon you find that only actions speak
And all your leaders get taken out

When cities are burning to the ground
Women's hearts are buried with their children
And all your leaders get taken out and still
Those dreams you don't forget
