Broken down by expectations Buried under unforeseen boundations, He saw a spiraling light Fading away from his dismal sight. Tired of all the cringing His godforsaken life and deceitful upbringing, His hands joined, And head held high, He committed to a change under the full moon sky..!!!

He dreamt of a place, Free from casting people out on so-called race. Where men flew in their creativity, Making dreams their sole priority. Where all minds worked as one And emotions were never shunned. No shouts, just soft whispers leading the people, Prayers reaching Jesus from every steeple..!!!

He searched for a stairway to such a place, Believing it existed in some unseen space. All it took was a realization, That such a place is to be made of this civilization. Whispered his heartbeat, A revolution is to be brought on each street. He pledged to be the prophet of this awakenin’, Indeed, he BELIEVED that THE CHANGE IS IN THE MAKIN’…!!!

Backdrop of the poetry – It is always easy to criticize about things one doesn’t find pleasant around him. But, we refrain from taking a step to do away with ill practices and social evils present in our society. We, the youngsters, have the power to bring about a change that will make this world a better place to live in. When each and every individual wakes up to his call and commit to bring about the change, it will come.
