Change the world today.

Change the world today by…

 

by giving the kid covered in acne collecting the shopping carts at the local supermarket a compliment.

by cleaning out everything you for so long have swept under the carpet.

by donating the spare change from inbetween the sofa cushions.

by no longer spending money on magazines that create a feeling of doubting your own self image.

 

Change the world today by…

 

by paying attention to the food we choose to ingest and waste and not upon our waistlines.

by thinking twice before posting some photoshopped selfie and bragging on social media about your favorite vice.

by conjuring up the common good while playing with a Ouija board.

by putting yourself to task before blaming others and the world for not giving you all that you ask.

 

Change the world today by…

 

by creating more free spaces for kids to skateboard upon.

by actually calling a friend to discuss how you think Grey’s Anatomy or The Walking Dead or whatever your favorite series is, will one day, eventually end.

by spending time alone and letting your mind ponder as you wander if today you woke up to be the person you hoped you’d turn out to be when you were only 13.

by fitting the circle and the square,

and by not being continiously caught up with your own agenda and by doing something that shows another that deep down that you, do care.

Change the world today by 

by being more concerned about listening to the answers that another gives than to the questions that you feel so compelled to ask.

by relating more to those struggling to survive on the streets of your cities or states than to those characters of fiction that we binge watch every night as our way of escape.

by learning how to see through, the put upon veil of unearned intelligence as only a mask worn by those terrified and in touch with their own sense of fear and of having been poorly educated.

by educating the individual about their overall responsibility when it comes to actually living as a collective.

by understanding that we are not only islands adrift in plastic seas but land masses of atomic bodies just barely afloat upon lifeboats taking in litres of water by the second.

by accepting the fact that we must act, in small and simple ways and in grand gestures that will make an impact upon healing this soiled ground that we use as a home.

by taking appropriate action geared towards sustainable living instead of living a life of emotionally charged childish defensive reaction towards that which we may have to give in.

by recognizing with open eyes the mistakes of our communal past and by working together, to figure how we as responsible participants can all work towards repairing the damage done and fufill the promises to our children and childrens children that we, stopped certain behaviors, corrected our cours, took action through motivation and proper discourse and actually did something to make sure that this planet, our world, will last.
