L.A.S.E.R.S

I want to get your opinion on a manifesto for an album from one my favorite artist Lupe Fiasco. It has a meaning behind it obviously but it can be taken several different ways even though its straightforward. I hope that this can spark some debate. What your thoughts on the manifesto for L.A.S.E.R.S.

It says....
We Want An End To The Glamorization Of Negativity In The Media.
We Want An End To Status Symbols Dictating Our Worth As Individuals.
We Want A Meaningful And Universal Education System.
We Want Substance In The Place Of Popularity.
We Will Not Compromise Who We Are To Be Accepted By The Crowd.
We Want The Invisible Walls That Separate By Wealth, Race & Class To Be Torn Down.
We Want To Think Our Own Thoughts.
We Will Be Responsible For Our Environment.
We Want Clarity & Truth From Our Elected Officials Or They Should Move Aside.
We Want Love Not Lies.
We Want An End To All Wars. Foreign & Domestic (Violence).
We Want An End To The Processed Culture Of Exploitation, Over-Consumption & Waste.
We Want Knowledge, Understanding & Peace.
WE WILL NOT LOSE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LOSERS, WE ARE LASERS!!!

Lasers are the opposite of losers. Lasers are shining beams of light that burn through the darkness of ignorance. Lasers shed light on injustice and inequality. Losers stand by and let things happen. Lasers act and shape their own destinies. Lasers find meaning and direction in the mysteries all around them. Lasers stand for love and compassion. Lasers stand for peace. Lasers stand for progression. Lasers are revolutionary.
Lasers Are The Future.

We’re Not Losers…We Are L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!

Love Always Shines Every-time Remember 2 Smile!

So what do you think. Makes sense? Like it? Not the music just the message. I would encourage you to give your own thoughts on the matter
