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
