thine & mine, country is ours

August 17th, 2011

it comes not from heaven,
but is built.
person by person
event by event.

who says- the books know,
each solution, every door.
hath the roads been straight,
we had been there long ago.
but we aren’t.

the road to heave is built
river by river,
hill by hill.

blame not,
the wise who have passed,
curse not the floods or drought.
if it was known
would have been done.

tighten your shoes,
tighten your heart,
it’s democracy my dear!
a world for you to build
day by day
year after year.
