The True Dream

What does it mean to succeed To obtain material things While neglecting the true dream Which is most important to me What does it mean to grow To gain knowledge for occupational skills Or creative thinking for an everlasting thrill Does it take a wise man to know What will give me self esteem To create a socially acceptable image for all to see Or try to get by just being me Or is it somewhere in between For self glorification seems short sighted, do you agree Well, I still envision the true dream A world where creative knowledge grows on tress With everlasting wisdom to set mankind free
