An Inaccessible City


An Inaccessible city is like an island - there is no chance to travel anywhere,
It’s like being stuck with a mobility disability on top of a staircase  or escalator at Sunnyside  or Victoria Park Station surrounded by people who do nothing except push and stare.

An inaccessible city is like a city without justice,
That seems scary, unfair, and cruel
Because none of us would have the opportunity to be educated at any of our local schools.

An inaccessible city is isolating, depressing, and stale.
No chance to get out of poverty, to see friends, or go to our doctors appointments.
Instead it would be like living inside a jail.

An inaccessible city isn’t where we want to be,
We want the opportunity to travel safely on time to places
So we could work,  go to our doctors appointments, see family and friends,
In other words we want the opportunity to be free.
