It’s time for billionaires to donate their excess to hospitals and vaccine research,for state funded higher education all the way upand a guaranteed annual income for every citizenin a rental space larger than a jail cell,for homelessness to be a rare personal choiceif it continues to exist at all,for everyone who wishes to self-actualizeas a professor, service provider, stay at home caregiver or whatever each unique set of aptitudes and desires manifests,to embrace fullness for all, a culture of securitywithout anyone slipping through cracks,fewer chasms to fall into and help for those who do,to value service above extremes of individual wealth, to rest in work/life balance.
It’s time to make Canada and every country decent for all,to switch over quickly to green energy, celebrate the Earth breathing,in this rest from our exhaust,this reprieve from air travel pollution,give thanks for all those tasting clean air for the first time over Beijing,watch in amazement as whales glide into inlets,now that we’ve eased up on our flurry of noisy boat traffic,to save the planet and our well-being,to see that we can do bothand when it’s finally safe,to walk in sunlight and cherry blossoms,let sea wind moisturize my skinand once again dip bare feet in the swoosh of waves over the shore.
