James Howerton Poet Prose

dream high

dream high
young man,
for you are unique
in many ways.
God made
only one of you,
that makes you
special.
But you've allowed
yourself
to pay attention
to society's view
of you,
which dictates
that you're worthless.
So
devoid of dreams,
you waste precious
time.
From
Monday to Sunday
you make no
power moves.
Instead
of going to school
and getting
an education,
you go to the package 
store
to purchase
a bottle of stagnation,
which blurs our
vision.
Instead of reaching
out
to touch your dreams,
some of you
reach out for the dope
dealer
to purchase what
you need to get by.
While 
you're flying high,
you become lost,
having no direction.
Dream high
young man,
you're a born leader,
a trendsetter.
Get yourself together,
young man.
stand up and rise.
Dream high
young man,
utilize your unique
talents.
Dream high,
young man.
