Critical Thinking

Life is too political, dreams are getting critical and our aspirations are just 
hypothetical thoughts;
We strive for recognition, leaving behind our own ambitions not knowing the race 
for status we run is already lost.
Too many dreams have been forgotten, our children are now spoiled rotten, it 
seems as if we do not remember the struggles of the past;
When Rosa sat for us , Malcolm was shot for us and Martin told us the dream 
was to finally be free at last.
Our souls are now sold to the devil, we place money on a higher level.  The basis 
of respect now is really how much we earn.
I remember when reading was fundamental, life was less disgruntle, back then 
the basis for respect was how much we could learn.
Can we take our time and take life slow.  Go back to the life we use to know, an if 
not then we shall surely find ourselves sinking.
These are just some words I wanted to share, some of you may not really care 
but I wanted to provide you with some critical thinking.
