A Better World

March 19, 2014

It is only a dream

Or so they tell me

A dream

It could make a differnce

Maybe not for you

But for me

Besides

Who else matters?

If I could have my dream job

I would be a professor

Not just anywhere

But at the University of Chicago

I would have my own research project

I would be trying to find a way to cure genetically aquired diseases

make the world a better place

Not for me

But for you

For her

For anyone who isn't satisfied with themselves

I know that my dream is drastic

It will take many years to get through college

And it will take luck to even have an inkling of a chance

But this dream

It will stay with me

Forever.
