Raised in a world
where we're always fighting to be better,
who's the better person
who's the go getter.
who makes the team
and who gets in
who's the most driven
and who continues to sin.
who's confused
who's got a good head
who needs to grow up
and who is a better example
based on the life they have led.
Are you a republican or democrat
a bigote or a brain
gay or straight
medicated or sane
An athlete or achiever
failure or believer
I was raised in a world
where opinions
have become our bones
rights and reason
based on our time zones
Material object obsessed
the bigger picture we miss
we are driven for success
whatever that really is.
