Citizenship is a responsibility that people need to take more responsibility for. Looking out for others with care and concern will get us the beginnings of peace.
In all of the "Gimme", no one takes much responsibility.......I love the progression in your poem - a wonderful vision which would indeed bring peace, were it practiced.
I like the canopy image. How peaceful such shared responsibility seems! Thank you.
