Education is Key 

 

From a young age, we have all heard that "education is Key"

But what about those that cannot afford to pay for that key

Those that have been struggling through their lives

I'm talking about moving from place to place

Getting kicked out and spat on by reality

That strong mentality started to slowly degrade

Ended up spending the rest of their life thinking they were worth nothing

Not having the knowledge or mindset to do nothing

Looking for the slightest bit of light but they could not find anything

The economy might be bad but take a chance 

I am talking to the President, the Mayor and the Governor; all of those in power

Give them a chance

Lend them a hand 

And help them perceiver 

You might think all the loans will help but that is a false reality

Understand their stuggle, even if they are looked at as rats

Take some time and view their minds

You will get a visual modality 

See their future plans and help them reach their goals

Those in power have to help make their dreams a vivid reality....

That is all I ask for!
