Bridges

In our isolation
we long for connection
to be a part of
a need to belong

We build bridges
to connect us
to bridge the gap
that divides us

Bridges are avenues
that link and connect
bringing us closer
to the corners of this earth

In this wide world
where there are walls
bridges are tools
to reach common goals

In this life we live
where divisions reign
bridges are means
to reach common end

Let's build bridges
instead of mending walls
let's break them down
and create a better world
