Shake The Dust

This is for the kids who grew up, and for those who didn’t. This is for the parents with messed up kids. This is for those who are disappointed in themselves. This is for the unwanted, and the unheard. Shake the dust. This is for the animals in the zoo. For the 60 –hour-a week workers. For the jobless. This is for the unvisited parks. This is for the kids in Africa. For the kids in America. Shake the dust. This is for the kids who eat lunch alone. For the thoughtless. This is for the high school drop outs. For the non believers. Shake the dust. This is for the truck drivers going no where. For the death sentenced. Shake the dust. Shake it for me. We all become comfortable. That’s when it happens, the dust gathers, and becomes part of us. So, shake the dust. This is for the unheard musicians. Be heard. For the people who don’t dream. Dream on. This is for you. Shake the dust.

    This is awesome! I really like the first line, "for the kids who grew up." I don't want to grow up. I like being a kid. I also like how you ended it by saying that we all just get too comfortable and the dust gathers. SO SHAKE IT!

    "This is for the truck drivers going nowhere." What a great line.
