Life is full of dividing lines

Like streets and borders and corridors

That leave us pressed against them

Like bodies against glass.

 

Here, we seek to tear down walls;

To wipe away those scarlet lines,

Putting bridges in their place.

That we might stand on equal ground.

 

Together we share our small wisdoms

Like from the many, one

For life on earth could be divine

If we only cross the divide.
