Music Development


Dream World

Starts with Dream Hope

Dream Hope 

Starts with Dream Job.

 

Asking who I "am" is not enough

Asking what I "want" isn't mypurpose 

Now, "Development" that's what I "am."

Now, "Development" that's what I "want."

 

Reaching these goals of development takes strides

Reaching these goals of development takes what you need to create it

What you need to create it is your story. Your life.

What I need to create is hope.

 

Reaching my dream of implanting the depths 

Of music 

Into the minds of underprivileged children 

Of a Third World Country

Creates Hope.

 

Understanding music is understanding 

Yourelf

Understanding Yourself is understanding 

Your Culture

Who Your 

are

What your traditions 

are

What your family and friends

are

What we all

Are

 

And, if, and IF, I can supply this tradition 

This way of knowing into children's llives

This forever accomplishment of who these children 

ARE

Then my job is complete. 

Who I am is complete.

 

Dream World 

Means Dream Hope

Dream Hope

Means Dream Job

 

and Dream Job

Means Dream Life.

I am new to the whole Poetry World, but I've found it so interesting. Especially what the minds of youth can say and interpret. I've always loved writing and poetry units in school, so for the last year or so I've started to write my own poems. I love the subject of human rights and equality. I love nature and music as well. Also, I enjoy being globally involved in the world, so that's just me.
