The Wall
A wall I see
Only for me
A barrier keeping them out
So that I can never shout
I know and hear and see and touch, but they just seem to be too much
A cage
A trap
A room perhaps,
locked from inside, without a latch
The wall I see, and turn away, for it is just another day
I’m scared of when the wall will break,
that it will be more than I can take
So I make sure it will endure
any attacks upon my door
I can’t get out, they can’t get in
nobody will win
the rushing stream, the boiling drought, the suffering from the streets, people dying from disease,
I know how it should be
It’s not, and I will never see
Beyond the wall
