I cannot change the World no matter how i try <br />The only one that I can change is the person known as i <br />Big Multinational bureaucrats are ruling every Town <br />Why bother wasting energy in trying to drag them down. <br /> <br />Just let them be tall poppies in pursuit of their greed <br />'Tis their way of seeking recognition and recognition we all need <br />So many must grow poorer for every new millionaire <br />But what's the point in saying that life can be unfair. <br /> <br />I've got to stop competing with the Joneses next door <br />And carry on with my life just as I did before <br />They don't worry about me since they do their own thing <br />And why should i sing their praises when their own praises they sing. <br /> <br />I cannot change the World so I'll let the World be <br />The only one that i can change is the person known as me <br />The sparrows in the backyard squabble over a crust of bread <br />They must be feeling hungry the hungry must be fed.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cannot-change-the-world/
