MOVERS AND SHAKERS
Out of each generation a few shine brightly,
managing to escape a life that's unsightly,
where most of the crowd are trapped in repetition,
of injustices and revenge as if it's a competition.
The cycles repeat themselves over and over again,
as revenge brings injustices with sorrow and pain
causing more revenge and back to injustices,
and so they swop places with evil practices.
A few individuals look to a future,
a life of beauty and joy to nurture,
they turn away from the crowds on their own paths,
striving for a better life where there is peace and laughs.
From out of emotional ghettos they rise,
from out of financial gutters they strive,
with purpose and determination follow their goals,
daily reaching their aims lifting them from their holes.
