I am no prodigal son,
no mathematic genious,
No e.e. cummings,
or Rainer M. Rilke,
just a boy,
somewhat a child,
almost a man,
but I try,
that is all I can do,
try so hard that I fall from exhaustion,
Get back up whenever I fall,
stand between two armies and try to stop their madness,
be kind,
generous,
give,
take only what is given to me,
help others up,
stand between them and the gun barrel,
that is all I can do.

I want to change the world,
but I know beyond a doubt,
that I cannot,
I can only change myself,
try to make an image in me of what I would see in the world,
and hope,
a hope determined enough to lift mountains,
that the some around me may attempt to do the same.
That is all,
that those around me may produce in themselves what they,
want more than anything to see in the world.

All,
all I have ever wanted,
was the world to be a better place,
free of hatred,
violence,
war,
let it stop!
let the poeple be happy,
let me help them,
if only I can stop one tear from falling,
stop one knife from decending into inocent flesh,
save a little girl from a ripping away of her innocence,
then my life will be not in vain.

I challenge you,
whoever may read this poem,
to produce in yourself,
what you want to see in the world,
you may be like me,
amazing in no way,
but you can change yourself,
make you an image of what you would see in the world,
what you want to see in this wonderful world,
and hope someone will follow.

Let my call fall not on deaf ears,
be kind,
be generous,
be understaning,
accepting,
loving,
and maybe,
just maybe,
someone will follow you.

See.
Hear.
Help.
Take.
Give.
Understand.
Love.
