Everyone has potential,
anyone can change the world.
It will take a little time and patience,
practice makes greatness.
I have faith in love,
and I love you.
I believe you can do anything
you truly want to do.
You may think I'm referring
to someone I hold close
alluring, it isn't personal
when I wish for peace on earth.
So, reader...
what will it be?
Would you like to follow me,
or would you prefer to lead?
Stop.
Go.
Rules cause mutiny.
Pride inflicts rivalry.
I ask God for serenity...
yet some friends seem
to become enemies...
It is a fantasy,
and recurring dream,
but I think we'll be happy
when we see we all are free.
You have the power.
Make this a better place.
Don't wait till the final hour.
Unleash your amazing grace!

I tried to make this free verse, but rhymes are how my mind works.

Wonderful quotes to choose from, thank you.

I like that you tried some free verse, and it worked out well that you threw the rhyme in there too, you ended up with a really nice form. One of my favorite parts was the stanza just after "Go-" was that intentional rhyme with mutiny and rivalry, and serenity and enimies? Even "fantasy" in the next line fits with this pattern. You're also the only person who chose this quote, so kudos for that
. Like HeavensLostAngel said, this is just a very strong, commanding piece, but it's also incredibly positive and hopeful. So a very nice job with this, and thanks for the entry!
Best of luck, and God bless,

This is a very good piece. Good as all the rest I have commented on. I love the way it flows. It is just as you are ... strong. confident. commanding. full of emotion.
