There Is a Place

There is a place where the asphalt flowers grow into the glittering light of glory
There is a place where black vultures lived with eyes of red and feathers are coarsely
There is a place where dreams are no longer dreams they are now success stories 
There is a place where color is just a color and characteristics matter more 
There is a place where more bodies are in education facilities and less in the morgue 
There is a place where chains of past tribulations are broken into four 
There is a place where our past faults we cannot ignore but make better in the future
There is a place where human beings think with their minds and not a computer
There is a place where money is the evil of the world and love is the ruler
There is a place where everyone can run to and feel safe with no higher power or authority 
involved
There is a place where problems are resolved and words of wisdom are devolved 
There is a place where the sun shines down on the helpless people and brings them joy
There is a place where failure is no option as long as you have Foy
There is a place where tears mean happiness and not great grief 
There is a place where we are treated like we’re meant to be and not what we used to be
