A Wish

I wish I can.

I wish I can change the world

When I see a mother walking Down the streets, is winter and she looks warm from head to toe

But the little boy is not because he

Is just being dragged.

I wish I can change the world

When I walk around my neighborhood and see the homeless... I always think if they are hungry, if they are to warm or to cold or maybe just feeling hopeless.

I wish I can change the world

When I see a drug addict holding a sign “will work for food,” we all know that’s not true.

But at least he asked to work. If it’s for food or for his drugs it’s better than asking every person he sees for a free $1.

I wish I can change the world

There are so many things I would be able to change including racism, hate, the bullying, and the threat,

This is a world of humans... just one race, whether we are white or black, short or tall, thin or fat... we are just that... the human race.
