RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
New Bohemia
Bohemia is not a place in Europe
Bohemia is a state of mind
A place where art and artists reign
Where no endeavor is more valued
Than the creation of a work of art
Where thoughts appear in song
Where dance is in the wind
Where each street is a poem
And every building a sculpture
Bohemia is a place in the heart
Where no one is afraid to speak
And everyone agrees: Freedom is
As necessary as food, air and water
Where the needs of all are tended to
Where the ambitions of politicians
Are set aside like yesterday’s news
Bohemia is a place of growing
Where a child is taught to follow dreams
Where every person has a purpose
Where no dream is too small
Where no vision is too large
Where the struggle burns within
The search for truth and meaning
The fulfillment of the soul
Bohemia is not a place in Europe
It is a state of mind
Where every individual is driven
To be creative and kind
