My Piece of the World
I have a view from my window:
 A piece of the world,
 A different shade of blue with each blink
 Painted with rooftops and street lights and swings
 
 It glows with a gold autumn sunshine
 Casting shadows on the walls of my room
 When the sun escapes into its hideout
 The stars are its protectors and kings
 
 Can you see the view I see from your window?
 Yours is your own, but the same sky colors mine
 In a world so vast and impossibly different
 Our halves are drawn by invisible lines
 
 Each person sees with eyes that are nobody else’s
 And forms opinions that they can claim the rights to
 In the democratic wonderland that is this nation
 A collage of minds of all unlike designs
 
 You can weigh my view against yours and oppose it
 Pick apart the philosophies I will shamelessly embrace
 Refute God, renounce life ever after
 But my piece of the world will not go away
