My Country, My Home – With or Without a Roof

My home is under the soles of my feet.

They have travelled, worked, toiled, suffered, joyed and lived life.

They have not given in.

Some choices mine. Some choices are no choices at all. Man made the laws of supply and demand.

But my spirit, compassion and choice to love, care and make a difference is in my mind, and will not bend.

The right to live within a social, civil society is a right. Not a stigmatized sin.

The pursuit of happiness in an organized, institutionalized nation begins with housing and is needed to survive.

The whole can never be greater than its parts. Each part must be just as whole, and better than – more than, infinitely more extraordinary than the meager pain and turmoil of the past and the present.

Our future must be addressed today, for greater goals and existence for you, our future.

It starts with the prevention and eluviation of eroding states across the board. A place to be stable and strong: a house, a home. Affordable not just for some, but all.

Dew up with the dusk of dawn, and fields of capped and let there be a roof for all.

This is the need, this is the call.

Give the issue a push, shove and engine to go.

Get it done today, not tomorrow.
