In Thirty Years
In Thirty Years
In 30 years
Where do you see yourself?
Ask the general youth of America,
many would reply,
with a well established career and living well off,
married and some even parents
All of their dreams come true
Now ask that same youth, with ideal visions of tomorrow
How will you achieve your dreams
What have you done to prepare yourself
Chosen an university
For that degree
To give you that career
What about the high school classes you have taken,
the grades you have earned,
do they guarantee an acceptance?
Instead of checking
Facebook and Instagram and Twitter
Instead of spending hours on hair and make up
Every morning, every day
Try focusing on school
Read, study, pay attention in class, try your best on all your homework
What you are doing
Here and now
Matters
In 30 years
No one will know
What your hair looked like
What jeans you wore
What you do
here and now
decides what the next 30 years will be like for you
here and now
decides what your future holds
four years to decide a lifetime.
