The Fires of Change
I have lived before
Many, many times
I have seen leaders come and go
Kings, emperors, dictators and presidents
Some good, some bad
No matter, they all fear one thing
The people they rule
The fear what the people think
What they say
How they feel
Time after time
The time came when the ruled raised their hands
They began to speak forbidden words
They began to think for themselves
When they raised their hands and said no more
All it took was one raised hand to start the flame
Others followed, raising their hands
They lit a fire that burned hotter than any other
They burned the world with change
Changes that needed to be made
And the world was a better place after
