Access is Love
Wheels spin, dreams unfold
Stories untold, waiting to be told
A world built for some, not for all
But change is coming, hear the call
Ramps rise, like bridges to the sky
Saying "You belong" without a lie
Concrete and metal, simple design
But they're lifelines, almost divine
For those who roll instead of walk
These slopes are more than idle talk
They're freedom, dignity, and right
Opening doors once kept tight
Special people, you say? No, just people
Facing a world that can be feeble
In understanding that access is key
To unlock potential, set spirits free
Each incline fights against the stairs
That shout "You can't go there!"
Ramps whisper "Come on in,
Your journey here can now begin"
They're not special needs, just human needs
Ramps are the flowers, inclusion of the seeds
A gentle slope where steps once stood
Speaks volumes about the neighbourhood
So next time you see a ramp in place
Know it's not charity, but an embrace
Of all the voices, all the lives
That makes our world truly thrive
Let's build more bridges, tear down walls
Until everyone can access all halls
For in this world of diverse ability
Ramps are paths to true civility
Remember this: access is love
Not a burden, not above
But a right for every soul
To make our society whole
