Nobody's Business


I walk around UCLA daily You expect to inhale scholarly success, but those very heirs to the innovative technology world knows not what their future holds with all their robots and seismographs and innovations and rocket ships, Did I mention technology? Well, technically the homeless man with his masters degree in business, in front of the Bruin's theater begging me for a dollar to eat is still lost in the aroma... the air of success. And it's nobody's business that he's bearing all his business to the heirs of the very throne he, himself was never guaranteed. A degree does not equal success Lack of one doesn't mean you'll digress Life is finding your craft Success is doing the math If you're not educated enough You'll be unprepared to defend your business when times get rough And it's nobody's business, but you'd end up bearing all your business on the very corner you thought you'd never end up a beggar because you didn't choose to get an education.

I've been writing poems since I was young. It's a hobby along with dancing, but my dream is to be a doctor and save lives.
