I wanted to teach the world to you
so i bought you a globe
it was not that old
some of the borders
had since moved
and the names of the places
inside those lines had changed too
and i wondered if anyone made a globe without lines
or names for things which no
one can agree on anyway
a globe of land and sea
So I painted all the lines away
and erased the names of everything
so that all that remained
was hot and cold
high and low
land and sea
I wanted to teach the world to you
I wanted you to see
the billions of beautiful souls
all here learning
to erase the borders inside themselves
so that all that remains
is love

Amazing poetry by a talented writer.
I agree dear Paige. I wish we would learn. One earth and one people. No borders, no conflicts and our leaders lead with concern, kindness and they listen to the common folks. I loved your work today. You are a talented writer.
This could not come at more appreciated time, thank you so much for your kindness and encouragement. You have no idea what it means. 🙏
I like this very much!
