For I am

I close my eyes
I hear my breathing
I feel my mind clear
And I hear pain and suffering
For I am the world

As I concentrate
I hear people crying
I feel their fear and hopelessness
I hear the world avoiding looking at me
For I am Darfur

As I concentrate
I feel violence within me
I hear myself attacking someone
I feel their possesions in my hand
And I feel I have no choice
For I am the cycle of crime

As I concentrate
I feel the temperature of the world increasing
I hear another piece of the ice cap fall into the sea
I feel the pollution pouring into the skies
And I feel those in power counting votes
For I am climate change

As I concentrate
I feel people who care
I hear them want to make a difference
I feel the desire to be better people
And I hear them continue to fight a losing battle
For I am human potential
