The change we seek lies in the conviction from within our minds
For we must first understand that we have the very might
To cause change and to experience life differently
And to redeem ourselves from all shame and lameness immediately
This knowing eludes apathy and sheer disbelief
It motivates and negates the notion that life is a make-belief
The mind, again I say, the mind is where it all begins
Can you not see that your dreams are fueled by your daily premise?
Your confessions by night and even your deeds at noonday?
But all you do is debase yourself and expect wonders on Monday
You kill the gains in your mind and still expect riches
With your mouth you do all these and blame it all on witches
Now is the time to suppress those voices that surge your drill
Those negative voices that push you downhill
Those gloomy remarks that paralyze your zeal
And keep you far away from a three-square meal
Of course, positive utterances will do the job
Of nourishing the mind like blood to a bedbug
Look, the key to solving life’s indices is squared in your tongue
That very word you say can put negativity in its morgue
I can, you can, and we can
Are phrases stronger than the fittest soldier of the Taliban
Thus, keep your words positive and unbending
Vertical and unswerving, without any misgiving
