The Fence by Karl Meier

*Dedicated to: The Dreamers,
My brother inmates, and all those
Who dream of freedom

Once I was in a place where all things
Were possible
Once I was in a place where a person
Had no limits and could reach for the sky
Once I was in a place where there was
Adventure around every corner
Where safety and security was wherever you
Made it so.
Once I was in a place where food and drink
Was abundant, where people smiled and laughed
With you, not at you.
Where hope was eternal, and love and
Peace was yours if you wanted it.
This place was not in a dream, and it was
Not heaven, it was as real as this day.
I was in this place once, where is this
Land of wonder you ask?

Why it’s just on the other side of this fence
