Wrathful coils of cold metal held by rusting poles apart
Barbs and spikes greedy to rip the flesh apart
Paranoid faces with
untold fears
Taking formidable shelter; now behind the barbed wire!
Tell me dear friend? Hiding
behind this quagmire!
Where is the precious soul inside that you seek to protect?
Where are the mighty monsters that you so dread
Those mindless vices that you desperately try to drive out
Are they inside or outside, the black boundaries of your
huffy barbed wire?
You could not afford
the opaqueness of the wall; but could you not afford even an open heart?
The barbed wire across the land; is a barbed wire across the
heart
Once sharing love and dividing the pain
Why now, divide the heart and bleed with pointless pain
Entangling and constricting, the loving heart with caustic
spikes
Leaving behind bleeding sores on the souring soul
Tell me dear friend!
Who is it who hides behind this barbed wire?
