To the north I see a cold place with warm people,

Who can always thaw an ice covered heart.

To the east I stand and raise my hand in salute,

For the first thirteen who gave us our freedom.

To the south I see soft sands and tropical breezes,

As all people stand together in an endless effort to rebuild a deadly dystopia

Back into a dynamic one.

And to the west I see cities once hungry for the greed of gold,

Now walking on roads basked In the righteous glow of sunlight.

It is our perception on the universe that we live in,

That allows us to sink or swim in the world around us.

And it is how we act on the world with that interpretation

That allows us to either sink into the dark trenches below,

Or allow us to glide across the water above

And truly succeed in life.
