Want Something Worth Wanting


a new realzation dawned on me on something i was to blind to see all around me i see people who are satisfied with wanting things that are trivial compared to the greater aspect of things and his greater aspect i speak of well it is education you see because yes i am african american and it pains me to see the potential of my people wasted on wanting such trivial things wanting to rap, play sports,become the next big thing but how often do you hear i want a masters degree i wish i percetions would change and poeple my peole would that education,EDUCATION has always been the key it may take more work but it is always more satisfying in the end so why not change i want to be a basketball player, rapper into i want to be a lawyer, doctor, or even engineer i wish and i know if the way we think now could slowly change in a couple generations this is the way it would be but for that to happen we must change and acquire a thought process that is worth passing to the next generation this is something worth wanting
