<
>One hand<
>Reaches out<
>And pulls a lost soul from harm<
>While a thousand more go unspoken for<
>They say what good have you done<
>By saving just this one<
>It's like whispering a prayer<
>In the fury of a storm<
><
>And I hear them saying you'll never change things<
>And no matter what you do it's still the same thing<
>But it's not the world that I am changing<
>I do this so this world will know<
>That it will not change me<
><
>This heart<
>Still believes<
>The love and mercy still exist<
>While all the hatred rage and so many say<
>That love is all but pointless in madness such as this<
>It's like trying to stop a fire<
>With the moisture from a kiss<
><
>And I hear them saying you'll never change things<
>And no matter what you do it's still the same thing<
>But it's not the world that I am changing<
>I do this so this world will know<
>That it will not change me<
><
>As long as one heart still holds on<
>Then hope is never really gone<
><
>I hear them saying you'll never change things<
>And no matter what you do it's still the same thing<
>But it's not the world that I am changing<
>I do this so this world we know<
>Never changes me<
><
>What I do is so<
>This world will know<
>That it will not change me!<

This is without a doubt the most beautifull poem I've ever read; it says it all for me, and the way I feel. Thankyou so much for making my day! Lin.

What a profound piece of work! 
 
"Like me, you could.....be unfortunate enough to stumble upon a silent war. The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing,becomes as political an act as speaking out. Either way, you're accountable."
