"Barriers"
December 17, 2014
Walls form buildings.
Walls are referred to as problems?
People talk about breaking down walls,
but don’t consider - walls can always be rebuilt.
To break through a wall could collapse
the entire building.
A cement wall of hatred
supports the castle of society.
There are employees with families
on the floor above.
Nice, sweet mothers
just trying to make money for food at home.
Why come through like a wrecking ball
to destroy a wall of the building
and the innocent mothers inside,
when you could’ve used the door?
