In a world where it’s easier to point fingers and assign blame, the true challenge lies in looking within. Our lives are filled with moments of frustration and discontent, often directed at the world around us. But how often do we pause and reflect on our role in the grand scheme of things?

This poem encourages readers to embark on an introspective journey, reminding us that the key to transforming the world lies in our willingness to change ourselves.

Introspection on Hold

Gazing here and there, all around,
Who will dare to look within?
Finding faults in the world outside,
Who will search their soul inside?

Voices rise, “The world must change!”
Who will themselves rearrange?
Many preach with great delight,
Who will ponder their own plight?

“Change yourself to change the world,”
Who’ll accept this truth unfurled?
To mend the world, start with you,
Who will embrace this simple view?

Let’s improve and light the way,
Who will begin this quest today?
Reflect within, set your heart free,
Who will take the first step, be the key?
(Vijay Verma)
