What Would I Change?

What’s wrong with the world?
We live in a world where grades are more important than learning.
We live in a world where college, which is supposed to launch you into a prosperous career,
Throws millions every year into a whirl of debt and despair.
We live in a world where the economy is plummeting –
They say money doesn’t buy happiness,
But I’m pretty content in this yacht.
They wish for “world peace.”
They wish for “equality.”
We are equal as humans, but not equal in talent.
Naturally, we all have our special abilities and talents.
Why would they try to equalize our special qualities?
We are all unique.
