2 sides of Earth
By Byron I

My feet feel the soft, burning sand
There I stand, feet dug into the sand, staring up at the seagulls chirping away.
Across the burning sand I go.
Leaping into the ocean,
My emotions are everywhere
Laughing while swimming against the ocean current.
In my mind, I'm thinking, oh what a wonderful world.
My mind then races back, to the other side of the city...
Oh, what a pity.
The factories, the smoke, the pollution,
The sewers, the rodents, the smell.
It hurts my mind like hell to think about this city
It is like a yard full of gravel without any grass
It’s as gloomy as a graveyard.
As hard as it is,
Let's change the world,
let's make every place as beautiful as the beach
Because, I know, you and I, we can change the world!
