Talk is cheap

Lets change it

Altering these minds

Amongst a past forgotten

A future was left behind

Reflections of advancement

Irrelevant to heart

Jealousy meets reason

Opportunities depart

Fortune’s worth

We’re searching

Headed towards a goal

Success means pay a fee

Moving forward pays a toll

But down the road

We realize

Education through these eyes

All the things we’ve learned

Through all the ways we’ve tried

Use these talents given

Each word a careful thought

Wealth means pay your dues

Don’t get confused for what was bought

We are who we can dream of

Integrity in mind

And those who curse and doubt you.

Are left to wait in line!
