Solid steel
rises and
cuts a
sharp silhouette,
that slices
in two directions,
severing the
hopes of many
in a long
defensive front.
Raised in
anger and frustration,
not the
kind of fencing
that is polite-
but the
kind that
makes
good neighbors.
Thrusting
high into
the cobalt
blue skies-
along the
borders
where Mexico
parries.
Many walls
are holy
such as
the ones
surround
the vatican
which is itself
surrounded by ghettos,
hoarding the vast
treasures that
god intended
for the poor.
And the walls
that block mexico
are also hole-y
and many
that get through
find themselves
working for
menial wages
without insurance
living in worse
conditions than
what they left.
I am sure many
wish that they
had never
breeched
such walls.
