A Sanctuary-Safe and Strong-W

People don’t have to migrate to be citizens to this palace,
Over here life burning well creativity is the ash
Even the poorest gets the best sanctuary
The status not inevitable here in this heaven
Rare infusion of mind and heart, not an illusion
Yearning to write and to be read with pleasure 
Poets, writers, commoners, dreamers old and young
An African-Asian-European-Australian-American all
Lands are free, homes are beaming with activities
A problem of racism unknown, prejudice, malice dead
Come all sane, insane, to record the best or the worst
Eventually let the Goddess of poetry soothe our hearts.

This really is a place where people of all races and ethnicities find common ground and share their thoughts. What always amazes me is how much we have in common with people from other countries. Our hopes, dreams and ambititions are all similar. You did an outstanding job of describing the special quality of Poetry Soup, Dr. Ram. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
