A Place

A Place

Take me to a place where there are no wars and no fights.
Take me to a place where there is no darkness, only sunlight.
Take me to a place where there are bridges instead of walls.
Take me to a place where we can all stand tall.

Take me to a place away from all the rumors and the stories.
Take me to a place so like Dr King l too may see the glory.
Take me to a place where there is freedom from depression.
Take me to a place where there is freedom of expression.

Take me to a place where I don't always have to explain myself.
Take me to a place where we are not separated by power or wealth.
Take me to a place where there is only good and no evil.
Take me to a place where we don't see color, just people.

Take me to a place where my voice is heard.
Take me to a place where I am allowed to live and to learn.
Take me to a place where less is said and more is done.
Take me to a place where we are all one.

To have that kind of place on the outside, we first have to have it on the inside. Good thoughts and good write!

I want to go there! Welcome to the soup, this place can be like that, except for the times it isn't.
