Vision of Change
By Kelly McNulty
I have a vision of change
But, I do not walk alone
Nor is the premise unknown
Words of a harmonized world
Have so often been spoke
So easy to evoke
Yet, the flame fizzles to provoke
Shadowed has been the road to change
Of so many echoes and so much pain
The message of revolutions through peace
Voiced in every message
Edged in every breath
To fight against the powerful elite
To take a stand against inequality
To weave a blanket of kindness
To harmonize a world that seeks to divide
To heal the wounds of man’s injustice
Strength within their threads
Persistence in their stand
Gandhi envisioned a unified India
Lennon imagined a world without War
Dr. King had a dream of a world without Color
And, all stood strong for something more
A mirrored reflection of a mission
A passion to seek compassion
A voice to sing in harmony
A flame to burn in unity
A vision of capability
To plant the seeds of change
And grow inside the rain
And not add to the soiled pain
Yes, I have a vision
As so many have had before
And, I too yearn for something more
A world without any war
A revolutionary change
Where all species live without pain
And, no one acts for mere economic nor empowered gain
An end to all exploitation
A harmonized web of connected life
Living with mother Gaia
Embedded in the clouds of desire
May our echoes provoke like thunder
May our souls ignite a spark of unbridled passion
And may peace encrust our core of sanctity
To put into action…
