A Peek Behind the Fence

Ignorance 
is a crime
caused by 
putting up fences

if we'd let go
of the voices inside our heads
and eliminate fears
discussions would arise

peel the blind folds 
from our eyes
share real stories
told without disguise

encouraging progress 
could be made
with concerns of what we've learned
rather than what we are paid

a fulfilling life 
is people based
sharing
giving
looking out for others
one human at a time
despite our differences
the truly rich way of living

Andrea Dietrich September 10, 2011 at 10:28 PM I love this common sense poem from you. And of course it's ALL true! thanks for your comments the other day (I hope it's Joey I am talking to?) I confused someone using initial J. for you a while back, but I think I have the right Joey now??
