Visiting

11/05/2020 - Iso Well-Being Compilation

 

Won’t you stop here for a moment?

Where the air feels very raw;

Where every breath feels uneasy;

And life is so unsure.

Can’t you feel the wind stinging you?

Where the dirt abrades your eyes;

Where the leave crunch under foot;

And people are outnumbered by flies.

Shouldn’t you want to know your country?

Where the hard lessons are taught;

Where the fight is never over;

And experience can’t be bought.

Wouldn’t you immerse yourself here?

Where cultures meet head on;

Where the land is a harsh mistress;

And dreams are never gone.

Isn’t this where you should be now?

Where bark is burnt black;

Where grass dries brown;

And water never comes back.

Hasn’t this town been through ample bad times?

Where the going isn’t just tough;

Where families struggle together;

And the people have had enough.

Weren’t you always saying you’d visit?

Where your presence is appreciated;

Where your dollars make a difference;

And lasting memories are created.
