50 years from this day


 I am Luke,

I am young intelligent and enthusiastic

I wake up every morning with the ambition and energy to do a back flip

I will tell you why I am this way

I do not want to this world to be the same 50 years from this day

There is change to be made and I will make it

There are people to be helped and I will help them

There is love to be felt and I will love

It’s the few like me that will change this Earth

I did not know I was on this journey from the day of my birth

It was when I realized that anything was possible

Was when I decided I was going to do the impossible

I will work till I am financially free

Then work harder to pay others fee’s

Because moneys a problem that most can see

But this is not the way things have to be

We can work together and all live happily

I will mentor others till they are ready to lead

Making sure they do not live for the greed

Greed is evil and the root of many problems

But what are problems if I can’t solve them

There is more to me than what you just read

But now you know my mission is to make sure everyone gets fed

I may be doubted but that is okay

Because I know things will not be the same 50 years from this day.
