It Takes A Village

The heirs of such

Live among the torment

Never knowing the blessings of the touch

Their lives becoming abhorrent

Living harder than in forever

Chasers of such a mysterious prize

Ones such as thee, only see the grey weather

Cursed forever between the dark and stormy skies

To do it foever alone

To only walk away, they're the wretched souls

Burnt and purged away, the ash of their bone

Worlds ablige, smells of burnt coals

Left out of despair

Throw the wounded their needed hand

Both to breathe free, to live a life more fair

For those less fortunate, do what one can

Be of the able, who imagine paradise

For it must be something the ones with it all have made

The dream to find a world more nice

Claim it you shall, a life that's better payed

Free all unto a better made story

One of freedome to explore

Filled with lives not knowing the details so gory

Where humanity labors and aspires to more

To live the dream

Not all will ever do

For it's not as easy as it seems

Yet, better dreams can sometimes come true

It takes a village to build

Build up those who are in need

Make all dreams fulfilled

It takes a village to build, indeed

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
