A name on the door
The emblem on a car
No dirt on the floor
A life behind bars
Designer tags on clothes
The perfect color for your hair
A diamond stud on your nose
No more worries to bare
The size of a stone
The cost of a house
No time spent alone
More time going out
A family always seen traveling from
here to there
'I love yous' aren't what they mean
A hug without care
Where are we heading
To what have we left behind
Who are our children
Have we lost our minds
A child without guidance
A school without purpose
A voice within silence
Existing to feel worthless
You're given a life and a world too
But the real question is...
Do you have the world
Or does the world have you?
