1000 More Lives

  1. Do you hope to change 1000 lives?
  2. Is it really worth it to change 1000 lives?
  3. What's your cause, your devotion?
  1. Can you be a leader?
  1. A leader to what - 1000 deaths?
  1. 1000 saved lives?
  1. 1000 crushed dreams?
  1. 1000 moments of hope?
  1. 1000 people looking to you for hope?
  1. Can you be a savoir to those who need you most?
  1. Are you just?
  1. Are you right?
  1. Or are you wrong?
  1. What will you accomplish with 1000 people at your side?
  1. Are you being selfish?
  1. Are you thinking of others?
  1. Do you realize how many outcomes this has in store?
  1. Are you prepared?
  1. Are you willing?
  1. Do you even realize what the difference between the two is?
  1. Will this bring destruction?
  2. Will this start a new era of creation?
  1. Are you prepared to go down in history?
  1. Can you be you even in front of the world?
  2. What will do you after you accomplish your goal?
  3. Do you even have a goal?
  4. What is that goal?
  5. How many is 1000 really?
  6. Is it 1000 souls?
  7. 1000 hearts?
  8. 1000 hopes and dreams?
  9. Or, to put it simply, 1000 lives?

  10. Are you 1 in 1000?


UNFINISHED.
