My pride is my shield, My dreams are my compass, My happiness is my weapon: Come One, Come All

Come One, Come All

Author's Note:
I wrote this poem to show that anyone can be wanted, all they have to do, is to have the need. I am focusing on the voice part of the writing rubric.

Come one, come all
To the the marvelous life
To the heavens above
To see the great sites
Live life to the fullest
The fullest indeed
To the land of the wealthy
Though no one with greed
Family, friends,
Neighbors alor!
Babies, and brothers
Sisters and mothers
The land of the love
Islands of great fortune
Come to the cities
Like Sunshine and Lipton
Everyone's healthy
Everyone's clean
So many places to go
Many people to be
Slap a smile on that face
That oh what lovely face
And come on down
Live in wide open space
Clear out of reality
And into your dreams
You don't want to be wanted
To you wanted is a need
The place of all color
Like red blue and green
Eat cultures of food
Like Mexican beans
Or pasta from China
Or oranges from Spain
Or bananas from Brazil
Or some sort of grain
You cannot get hurt
Or take a great fall
Welcome to the land
Of come one, come all
