Everyone needs a place to live
This is a most human and humane objective
It’s actually an imperative
If we truly want what’s best for the collective
It’s not radically progressive
Nor is it simply a utopian perspective
Having a place to live
Is a necessity thats not only cognitive
But also one that is forward thinking and connective
Not to mention highly intuitive
If we are to not only to survive as a species but thrive
We must learn to be responsive
To the needs of the many
To be really and truly inclusive
And not simply surface reactive
To the needs of the few-the selective
The same ones that we allow to lead us
In ways that are most divisive
They are not thinking about the whole
They are constantly and consistently exclusive
Insisting that the most important value is to be productive
This is the current conservative
leitmotive
And at best it is crazy reductive
Listen.
A home doesn’t need to be expensive
Nor does it need to be expansive
How is that we can continue to allow such massive
Discrepencies in the have and have nots
It’s all so disconnective
Why are we more focused on investments speculative?
If we continue to invest only in what’s lucrative
How will we break this broken narrative
We have become so afraid to speak out-so passive
We are so worried about what will happen if we overgive…
We’ve gotten caught up in what’s ours.
We earned it.
It’s so damn exclusive.
How do we change our lenses to be more inclusive?
Or to what’s collectively nutritive?
Globally Generative
Instead of the argument that its so expensive
-to create housing for all…
What if we could change our perspective?
For once and for all.,…
And we considered what in the name of LOVE is more expansive?
More conducive …..
Of peace in the world?
Continuing to colonize…
With ideas most invasive?
Or live and lead with our hearts
Way less intrusive
Far more supportive
At the risk of being iterative…
Everyone needs a place to live!
