Dogs mark their territory;

They leave their stain on the ground

to keep others out.

Our territory is more subtle;

It involves doing things our way and

having our opinions.

Yet,all the same,

We mark it clearly

just like the dog.

If one is to enter 

He must do so

At his own risk.

Is there a land where

there are no boundaries

only peace and unity?

The quiet voice within

speaks of the true heart.

Anyone can enter ,

Only pride is left out.
