Education can open the doors to a new future <br />Why do you not want to learn? <br />It’s satisfactory to be smart and intelligent <br />You don’t have to look to others for things <br />Strive on your own <br />Use your skills and knowledge to succeed <br /> <br />Forget about drugs <br />Forget about gangs <br />Forget about being cool <br />Forget about haters <br />Forget about being accepted <br />Forget about how you are perceived <br /> <br />Stay in school until you have achieved your goals <br />There’s nothing better than having a mind full of knowledge <br />With knowledge you can change the world <br />With knowledge you can lead the world <br /> <br />Lead instead of follow <br />Open up a book <br />And learn something new <br />You’d be amazed <br />At what you can do <br /> <br />Raise your hand in class <br />And answer the question <br />Don’t be shy <br /> <br />Rise <br />And show the world what you can do<br /><br />Alisha Ricks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/knowledge-is-power-3/
