WHEN IS OUR HOME SWEET?

a rhymed reflection by Francisco Gomes de Matos

When is our home sweet?

when from floods or other natural disasters we are free

When there´s always something to eat

When from an exorbitant morgage or an unfair rent we are free

When everyone at home has a seat

When is our home sweet?

When there is DIGNITY everywhere

and for ONE ANOTHER all of us compassionately care

when EQUALITY all human beings share

When HOMELESSNESS is seen nowhere

Proverbial wisdom says “Home is sweet”

but is that universally true?

How can Humankind make that come true?

It is up to me ,her,him,to them, and to you

Till then,there is a world of things to do !
