The Time to change by James Berry

-The Time to Change-
Over the course of my life I've thought many times, I want to do something so great that I change the world... I know it's possible, it's been done before. History's filled with revolutionaries; whether the celebrated leader or the villafied conqueror, both impacted the world. Maybe that's it then, I'll be a general, politician, or terrorist, I don't know... something great and terrible. The world would feel me then, but nah... that's not my style. So what about me?! how can I make my mark? I'm pretty creative sometimes. I could write, invent, I've been known to spit bars. Maybe i'll do something like that. Yeah, maybe. But what I realize now is that there's only the now and the future is built from it. Change is a constant. The world changed when I wrote this, again when it was read and if there's a time it crosses a mind, there it goes again. It changes when you hug your kids, listen and be a friend or just give a smile to a passer-by. We underestimate our importance. An importance we don't have to earn because we have it whether we like it or not. The world feels our impact, even if they don't know they're feeling it and when I say they. I mean man, beast and tree. So if I ask you what time it is, the answer is now, and now is the time to change the world. What change are you going to make?
