I cant change anything, Can I?

I wish the world was square,

the dimensions would make meeting people rare.

With loads of people on its ground,

unfortunately, the world is round.

People bothered more about others

Whose faults pointed out, but theirs covered.

When I can’t change what others think of me,

You think changing me would make theirs minds suddenly clean?

Jealousy, anger, selfishness, spreading like wild fire.

With no person, nor politician, in the present generation to admire.

Power & money being humans priority,

You have both & you see the iron and magnet property.

Try to tell the truth & change the way people think

But you realize it’s in vain & then you let go and let your mistakes be.

Now from where do I change, where do I start?

Whom do you begin with? How do you ask?

Then you realize & you sigh,

I cant change anything, can I?
