"You won`t ..."

[lovesanimals]

Again and again,I`m told
I won`t change the world...
they see my efforts
and they only say"Oh...
you won`t change the world"
Or worse still..."The world
was not made to please you"
Curiously enough...
the things I want are simple:
I want bycicle riders in Buenos Aires
to ride on the pavement ,
not the sidewalk...
I want people to use the garbage cans
instead of the streets...
I want smokers to stop poisoning me,
is that so much to ask?
Apparently Yes...the average Argentinian
looks at me with horror
because I`m no lady,
because I speak out,I holler at drivers
who don`t respect traffic lights...
I feel so much an outcast here
I don`t like this mentality at all...
I wish I were not stuck
in a country where everything
seems to dry up....
