One

William brooks 1959 (Salem)

It only takes one to get things started on a certain path. Whether it will be good or it will be scarred and how long will it last. It only takes one to foul up a nation without any remorse. To cut down their friend disown a relation closing all open doors
 It only takes one to make hatred arise without any concerns. Its written in their face disappointing disguise guess they'll never learn. It only takes one to turn things around to make it a little better. Maybe one day they can be found thats why I wrote this letter.
