My Dream



Just read it....try and hear it

   Want to hear all of my dreams, the things im always thinking about as I stream past so speedily, the things i believe in sincerely, with all of my being, what i think we need, to truly be, and to more freely see how to totally reform what history should leave to lead?
 Ok, allow me to show you some stuff i don't think most people see, or at least that they acknowledge they dis or agree. I preach about belief, about climbing to the top of this tree, about the gifts deep inside we hide, that are really the keys meant to release us, to breathe in our own creations, as we dream for better and achieve them together,  step by step. If i ever get famous, its only to get next to the ones trying to tame us, the ones smothering our flame by keeping us focused on blame and shame. I will first earn every dollar to make an empire, its purpose is not for me to retire, that I'll never do, but i will aquire every dollar and burn them. Melt every coin unless it's something special to someone, and it's value purely sentimental.
   Trade, barter, transfer, cart or carry, store or bury. Energy, effort, efficiency, and that is the exchange. Has nothing to do with education, those choices you made, if your dream is using a scalpel, and mine is using a spade, they are equally invaluable, and appreciated,  so it shouldn't change the pay.
    Education should be based on this understanding.  If you gather every seed from around the world, give them the same soil,  the same food, the same water, and the same light, only the ones made for that environment will thrive,  while all the rest have to fight, just to survive, hope some sights are getting wider.
    Government... rule or governing should be more active, more interactive with the public involved in more decisions, rather than being ran by very interestingly invested individuals with questionable morals or principles.
 Education and medical care should be free, our work should go to supporting that kind of community and providing our dreams of being the best we can be, encouraging our personal worth, focused on what people are naturally good at from birth, in a supportive household that hadn't had to fight, just to eat and be clean... anyone else feel or think like me? Can't anyone else see?
