We all do not have the courage,
Some of us do not have the time,
To make a difference in the world around us.
To make a noise, disturbance and a fuss.
Angela’s neighbourhood was very bad.
It was dangerous, derelict and sad.
The families were poor and life was tough.
Most of them were forced to live rough.
We all see such areas when we move around.
Places, cities, localities so messy and unsound.
The buildings are derelict and rotting all around.
There are potholes of corruption all around.
The state of her neighbourhood made her furious.
She prepared a blueprint of change for the curious.
Angela joined the City council and gave jobs to people.
Change was slow, but the neighbourhood changed.
How many times have you seen life falling apart?
It does leave an aching pain in the human part.
We all wish that things would somehow change.
It is sometimes up to us to be agents of that change.
