GOD
 When I was an young man,
I wanted to change the
world.
I found it was difficult to change the world,
so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I could’nt change the nation
I began to focus on my town.

I couldn’t change the town

and as an older man,
I tried to change
my family.
Now, as an elderly person I realise
the only thing I can
change is myself.
And suddenly
I realise that if, long ago, I had changed
myself, I could have made an
impact on my family, My family
and I could have made
an impact on our town,
their impact could have changed the
And I could have changed the world.
nation.
