there is a price to be payed
to go against the grain
on the wood floor of society.
Dark, smooth, perfect
that's how I see this strange society.
Am I the only one who see the ugly truth?
Am I the only one who knows this secret?
The secret called heaven.
I am told this is heaven,
but there is an evil within these white walls.
This heaven is corrupt, but those who speak about it, never speak again.
And that is no exception for me.
Society has turned against me for speaking,
telling the truth only gets you in trouble.
buy these lies and you can get by.
tell the truth and Die.
i cut my wings off,
to blend into society...

I admire your passion and ambition, but think you might want to temper your passion by checking your spelling in the poem (paid, not payed) and the spelling and grammar in your plan. I know you're all caught up in youthful idealism, but it's hard to get people (investors with real money) to listen to you if your grammar gets in the way of them understanding what you're trying to do. Work with the tools that you have and good luck to you in your mission. I hope you are able to accomplish all you dream.
