Where Can They Be?

Somewhere in this world must be,
Someone who thinks and acts like me.
With the same views of this world,
Sees that it is not so cold.

So much good, and so much beauty.
To show the rest this is our duty.
Find the wrongs and fix them,
Turn the world into a gem.

In such a big world, full of people
There really isn't that much evil.
There are the few who leach and harm;
The ones who build and use the arms.

Insecurity makes them fight,
And believe they are always right.
These people are not my friends.
Never justify means by the end.

To anyone who reads this plea,
If with these words you agree,
Then take the time, make a stand today
And help me chase the evil away!

Somewhere in the world must be
A group who act on what I see.
They are the heroes of this age,
Taking down what causes me rage.

There seem less in my generation.
Wait until we rule most nations.
There is hope, there is a light,
To pain and war we may say goodnite.
These are my views and mine alone.
Perhaps, and I hope, I'm not on my own.
