1000 More Lives
A Chapter by Victor Cartel
For bellwork in Creative Writing one day I was told to look around the room and pick a word/phrase to be the title of my poem. I chose a poster that said "1000 More Lives" and got this
1000
More Lives - Do you hope to change 1000
lives?
- Is it really worth it to
change 1000 lives?
- What's your cause, your
devotion?
- Can you be a leader?
- A leader to what - 1000
deaths?
- 1000 saved lives?
- 1000 crushed dreams?
- 1000 moments of hope?
- 1000 people looking to you
for hope?
- Can you be a savoir to those
who need you most?
- Are you just?
- Are you right?
- Or are you wrong?
- What will you accomplish with
1000 people at your side?
- Are you being selfish?
- Are you thinking of others?
- Do you realize how many
outcomes this has in store?
- Are you prepared?
- Are you willing?
- Do you even realize what the
difference between the two is?
- Will this bring destruction?
- Will this start a new era of
creation?
- Are you prepared to go down
in history?
- Can you be you even in front
of the world?
- What will do you after you
accomplish your goal?
- Do you even have a goal?
- What is that goal?
- How many is 1000 really?
- Is it 1000 souls?
- 1000 hearts?
- 1000 hopes and dreams?
- Or, to put it simply, 1000
lives?
- Are you 1 in 1000?
UNFINISHED.
