Poem
If I told you what my dream really was, You might think I had a serious buzz, If I told you what was my fantasy, Some might think it could never be, If I told you that late at night, I dream of saving teens that live to fight, Addiction, affliction, poverty and abuse, Where they are set up to eventually lose, If I told you how I want to open an afterschool club, With a music studio, a gym and lots of love, If I told you it would be absolutely free, All the expenses would be on me, If I told you there would be an art room too, For all my future Picassos and Michael Angelo’s who Never had anyone invest in them, Our future generation of hidden gems, If I told you it would be the hottest attraction, Saturday nights would get a major reaction, Drama plays, music gigs, art gallery’s made by our teens, Authentic talent would become more appealing than becoming a street fiend, Since schools are taking all these programs away, Teaching to the test is the way schools now sway, Many get lost in the tension, No inspiration causes more suspension, Children are more than just a score, There artistic ability’s need to be matured, Everyone is unique and My dream is to make a place, Where at night kids won’t go out and waste Their youth hanging out on the streets, A place where they could make some beats, A place to have fun and learn how to socialize, Instead of growing up around hate, pain and lies, My dream is to open it in the toughest spot, Allow their work to make this building hot! Just maybe some would chose to come in and create, Rather than stand in the cold and just sedate, My dream is to make other teens dreams come true, Give them a positive escape, and more options to pursue, When I get the money, I will find away, To transform the way our troubled teens see the world today.
