______freedom vistas______

imagine

someday a place

where sweet love reigns supreme
and true brotherhood is not just a dream

where you can if you only will
all your aspirations and potential fulfill

where wondrous peace is as pervasive as air
and sharing and cariing are a natural affair

well, for god's sake
let's tear down the walls

of bigotry and bitterness
of falsehood and fear
of distrust and doubt
allowing the rivers within
of goodness and beauty
to flow, rush in and out

for once and all flee
our self-inflicted cell
come to know the assurance
with our soul - it is well

so for Christ's sake
thanks to him
we have the key
so how much longer
tell me, will it take
before we set

ourselves free.

Jazzy,
Enjoyed your poem....Definately a place I'd like to go...beyond imagine!
Began and ended wonderful! :-).

Hi Mary...aka Ladybug,(so glad to see you back)

Thanks, and really glad you enjoyed it! If only, like your dear soul, it was a place we'd all truly (in our hearts and souls) like to go, beyond (merely) imagine... "WOW!", if only... Hope, I guess, spings eternal!

Namaste,
Jazzy

I liked you're poem, especially how the last of it is the perfect answer to the rest of it.

J. H., Thanks for taking time to review this poem and glad you liked it. J.

Hi jazzy,
this nearly reaches out to "I have a dream..."
I'd like to know more about that yearning, specially that feeling, for freedom and peace being a lively theme of yours. Could you press it in a few new equally striking stanzas? I guess you improve it by going on, search for your ultimate hymn...to share with us. They say that poetry changes people.

wiv luv,siren
