I felt poetic today

There is this guy I know,
With pure and raw talent,
He could change the world,
With his arms behind his back.

The trouble with it all,
Is that he knows its true,
And so he leaves them tied,
And closes his eyes too.

He wants to change the world,
To make the people see,
But he doesn't want to work,
To set his own arms free.

If only he would learn,
To first go free himself,
before he tries and fails
to offer others help...
