Fly Away

--Fly away. We were compelled to believe that all men are created equal, But they lied to our fore fathers and we are just the sequel. You can turn back the page and gaze at what the truth reveals Or ask your parents or grandparents to tell you how they feel. At the bottom of the totem pole, set there on purpose To see if you can climb up, but tell me is it worth this To have “power” but your only power is to purchase Never having any depth, just hovering above the surface. Curiosity killed the cat, remember that what’s accepted is fact Don’t retrace what’s been replaced, there 'll just be egg on your face. But be not defeated by foes and adversaries be motivated to be the 1st and pop all these virgin cherries. The world is ever-changing and they need your wise mind If you must, turn your back and let your eyes be blind To anything negative and only be positive How will your light shine if you always keep it closeted? Soar among the tallest building and live right between the skies Success is not an easy path, but unused talent always dies. To be able to wake up every day is not a given but a blessing Don’t squander the opportunity to teach the world a lesson. Don’t be afraid to raise the roof higher and tell the devil he’s a liar If you stay on top of your game then the world is yours to acquire. --Fly away.

"We were compelled to believe that all men are created equal, But they lied to our fore fathers, and we are just the sequel." first of all wanted to say that is a very powerful entry into this poem, the word choice and the rhyme scheme seem to fit together perfectly. I'll be reading more! my only suggestion is to add a coma where I put it ^^^^^^
