Excuse me Sir, can you tell me the way
up the mountain of justice amidst this darkness?

You see Sir, I've been lost
trying to find, amidst the blind, the light that shines.
something to tell me, this word "free" is truly existing.

You don't understand what I'm trying to say?
Well let me tell you what I see, daily:

I see…

I see the happy murderer free, running in the streets
The victim's family, mourning &crying unstoppably.

I see the racism & lines between all humankind;
envy, jealousy, & greed, leading to separation among nations.

I see the child who can't read because he or she
has been born into a family
in the wrong 'hood so the schools are no good
while others excel because, well,
they're straight "upper-class" as one would call,
supposedly deserving of all -
all conveniences & treasures in this capitalistic world,
while everyone else has to fight for their stability,
like two young men fight for a pretty girl.

I see people without faith
because, supposedly, faith certainly has left them to be.

I see people hungry because humanity deems them undeserving.

I see distrust, ways unjust, governments corrupt...

...money lust.

I see the lonely on the streets, no food to eat,
while the "higher up" lonelies with their monies have abundance of riches & glory,
but no hearts 'cause they've sold their souls,
they cannot be whole
for they harbor these lines that separate others & keep them blind.

Sir, can you help me find, a land with no lines?

A place that's truly, and totally free, with no boundaries?

A place where people are happy…

truly lovely…

and all things are emancipated, uninhibited, land un-raped...

Or is there such a place?

Tell me.
