Poem
Our ancestors still live in side us; They strive to get out! Every day we just keep pushing them deeper and deeper From straw, sticks, and leaves to shingles, tiles, and boards, we have built up standards of life. We need to just stop and look around, think back to the old times and how we’ve changed, then notice the Indians really haven’t changed at all. We are suffocating without the outside air. Constantly sitting indoors and letting our worries pass without a second thought; while we could be outside giving our friends and neighbor a second chance to step into our lives and change them for the better. The rich believe we need to worship and kiss the ground they walk on, while by and by they are truly the ones who keep us poor. Do not be greedy as a king, constantly wanting, ordering, and threatening. Equality! No one is more than the next! Then there’s the poor, whom are always saying, “hear my voice, hear us out!” They are on the streets, lives being risked, just to survive and support their families. Fear not, for you will not be degraded. Do not pursue to out due your neighbors, all it leaves you is poor and penniless. It’s understood you may be born into poverty or fame. But can’t you all see, it’s you. It’s you who makes something of your life; not your money, not your possessions. We as civilized people can make our dreams come true through innovation and industry. We as civilized people are wiser and more experienced than ever before.
