Stronger


"Get a Job"

"What do you want to do in the future?"

"What do you want to be?"

"Job security"

 

Fear is strong,

But love is greater.

 

Job,

Career,

Work.

 

One common ground,

Unknown,

Future,

Fear.

 

"I want to help others"

"Make a living"

"Financially sound"

"Stability"

 

I don't want a 'Job'

I don't want to 'Work'

I don't want a 'Career'

 

I want:

to motivate

to encourage

to uphold

 

I want to grow

I want others to grow

I am strong

I will be stronger

 

Anyone can have a 'Job'

Anyone can 'Work'

Anyone can have a 'Career'

 

I want to live,

I want to promote eqaulity,

In truce,

Be Strong.

 

A 'Job'

A 'Career'

'Work'

are relative terms

 

I want to make a change in the world,

My dream is to make a nicer world,

A kinder world,

A gentler world.

 

I start by being strong.

Giving others strength.

We are strong together.

Strong.

 

By being strong and holding up our values,

We can make a better world,

A stronger world,

That is our Dream.

 

Stronger.
