A RAINDROP
 
Gil Scott said it best,
"The revolution will not be televised"
You are not a tragedy
Not another fallen Being
Not a story at Eleven
"I need to do better,
WE need to do better
I've had enough"
You are a raindrop
In a calm pool
Creating ripples
Where there is one drop
Another will fall
Circles will collide.
A share is like a raindrop
That causes movement
Until the water is a
symphony of ripples
That turn to waves
You are the vibration
The pulse
A voice heard
The world will never be the same
You are the raindrop that
created the flood
That YOUR world needed,
To start anew
