Raise the Roof

Listen to poem:

 "Fragments and crumbs of life, all the little pieces"
                                           John Ruskin, 1853


beyond poverty of drab ghettos
a child's playful imagination
breaks free of urban confines
tearing down walls of oppression
to soar higher and higher
gathering momentum 
to conquer bright blue skies
