When I asked about the important people they said:

The poet is useless

The musician insane

The artist waste time

The dancer the same

Doctors make us better

Officers keep us safe

Businessmen keep the money flowing

And parents teach you so you won’t make mistakes

When I was in school I learned:

Creativity is a waste

Life is all about money

War is necessary 

And everything must be planned ahead

The philosophers will fail

Along with everyone who couldn’t become important

When I was with my friends I heard:

Money is nice, but they print more everyday

Medicine is alright, but we can’t think of new cures

War is hell, but it seems to be important

Officers are corrupt, but we keep the peace somehow

When I was alone with myself at night, I realized:

The poets, the artists, the dancers and the musicians make up life

They make the world colorful while proving that they are successful

Creativity is precious and those gifted with it should not fail to use it

Money is okay but we don’t need war, our lives should be a march for peace

The philosophers are the true teachers, the messengers of everything Holy and good

They teach the body, the soul, the mind and the heart altogether

And are the only people who should be deemed important

When I tried to share this with everyone:

Majority of the people took offense

Many people simply ignored me

Some people thought I needed help

Few people even considered my ideas

No one had listened

Yet everyone had heard

But when I shared what I had learned with you:

You eagerly listened and judged accordingly

You considered my ideas and even changed a few of your own

You understood why life could feel so empty at times

You understand why your parents told you they teach you to not make mistakes-

For they too were enlightened once, but no one listened so they gave up

But that is the fault that must be fixed this generation

For you and I will not stop until everyone knows that all the arts that create Euphoria

Are the very essence of life itself.
