Potential

poetboy5454

No one is or ever will be fully satisfied

So we rise and we fall, a changing tide

 

For we wish to make a difference in a constantly shifting world

Within ourselves, we've recognized the potential laying curled

 

We believe in something more, we fight for something higher

And if you think we're crazy now, you've never seen us shyer

 

Always rising for the right

Not just when the time is right

 

Each life is its own world, filled with families and friends

Imbued with their own significance, so why should their birth define their end?

If we've had the luck to be born where we can thrive

We should remember those left behind, who barely survive

 

Our potentials are greater than ourselves

Deep inside our hearts we must begin to delve

 

Realize a meaning beyond our own reality

A higher need, to set all of humanity free

 

All of us are faced with a choice

To fade until forgotten or release our voice

 

We've got no time to lose

Only a single fuse

Destiny is yours to choose
