To Change The World

By ShaynaPhelps, Minneapolis, MN

To change the world,
You must first change your country.
To change your country,
You must first change your society.
To change your society,

You must first change your self.
To change your self, you must first believe.
You must believe in your self, in your family, your community, your society, your country, the world, and humanity.
