Borderless
Licensed to dream, I would travel to the war torn
lands
To hold the hand of the dying; melancholy
overwhelming my heart
As I hear of new life in the same land.
Young life that can barely hold; taught to hold
weapons of war
Oh! What a shame, in the name to subdue and conquer
lands.
Sojourn to my next stop over, to the malnourished
famine ridden lands
To spread tales of hope and love untold;
To hope against hope that someday all this would
come to an end.
To travel to tomorrows filled with abundance.
Set free to move in love alone.
I would gladly stop by under the huge banner;
That says ‘free education to one and all’.
Children and adults thirsty for knowledge, drinking
to overflowing;
Content and masters, marching on to better
tomorrows
With grateful hearts and minds, the will to share.
Boundaries ceasing to exist; spilling from nation
to nation
Irrespective of colour, caste or creed.
These new minds bringing a new tomorrow which
spells;
Prosperity, health and unison, from land to land,
people to people;
The whole world not blue; but rainbow coloured with
borderless skies.
Every person so different, yet so similar in
thoughts.
To stand against the forces, that spells divisions.
Nations and lands transformed, having conquered the
fear within;
To conquer and subdue; life becoming borderless.
One earth, different nations, peoples, tongues,
climes;
Yet this beautiful sense of borderlessness
overwhelming.
Grass smells so good, they are weeds no more!
People smile at each other, even though they have
never met before.
Is this the same earth that carried so much strife?
Yes, it’s the same old place but in a borderless
realm.
Indeed I am the borderless traveler,
This dream can never come to an end.
