Appropriate for today

Sunday I went through old paperwork that I hadn't had a chance to deal with and sorted, tossed, filed and scanned everything. I found a folder that was Matt's from high school. It looks like it was from a writing class of somekind. As I read through them, I found two writings that he must have written 5 or 6 years ago, but they are appropriate for today. I'm not completely sure he can be credited for them, or if someone else wrote them, but I like them so I thought I would share one today. I will save the other one for a later date!

It is time for a change.

Time for a change in the way we are
A change in the way we live
In the way we work in the factories
In the way we buy fancy things
In the way we drive without care
In the way we consume without a watchful eye

It is time for a change
A change in the way we act
In the way we play together
In the way we argue against each other
In the way we talk with each other
In the way that we walk by each other

It is time for a change
A change in the way we love
In the way we care for the sick
In the way we help the needy
In the way we treat each other
In the way we love each other
It is time for a chance, for it will not happen on its own.
