How do we change the world?

How do we change the world?

A Poem by Jon Roggie

These are the kind of questions I am asked.
I have a simple answer.
We teach.
Now,
 there is a method.
You don't lecture.
Telling someone...
  it won't help.
Teach
Let your voice flow with theirs.
Let your hands guide them.
Fade away when they fly free.

Beautifully worded.
