Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

A Bird's Eye View

a bird’s eye view of
neighbourly towns
sharing borders

peaceful coexistence
reciprocity of economics
and amicable exchanges

what’s in a border
a line drawn in the sand
respectful of our differences

down deep we’re all the same
wanting the good life
live each day in harmony

We have to start by erasing these borders. And love finally blossoms. Nice write!

Hello Line … a wise message indeed, and it is the road to harmony, but greed appears to be a bugbear - thank you Line - Lindsay
