Old Frames -- Poem --

Isn’t it time for a change?

 Heavy old frames remain the same.

 Chained minds only change the colour.

It’s time for us to make a change

 A hungry child crying, yet politicians accept no blame;

 Hypocrisy justifies the seeking of power.

Can’t you make a change?

 My sight isn’t clear enough to understand the game.

 Please get down from your ivory tower.

We need to make a change.

 When the sleepy wake up, no one can stop the flame.

 Give me justice; let me bloom like a flower.

We, too, will make a change.

 Hand in hand, we can replace the old frame;

 Our awareness is a promising superpower.
