~ WALLS & FENCES... ~

~ WALLS & FENCES... ~

Walls and fences are full of suspicions...... their very names
Make it so,
Fenced in, walled up, I breathe in their perfume of
Disenchantment,
For this atmosphere is not a perfume..... but a breeding ground
For the germs of warfare...... which remain, as yet, unborn
It has no taste through distillation....... it is odorless
And molds for many years
Before its spores are airborne...... and ripened enough
To be considered deadly intent,
Or the beaded sweat...... on the belly of a bomber
Where soldiers, following orders......... have a waltz with her
And her political whispers
Become the rumors........... that dry her sweat
And are later considered
The spoils of war....... which are then fenced in
And walled up........ behind the armor
Of the vault of government
Where
Simple suspicions
Are always
Probable cause....

Yes, walls and fences everywhere!Β  Our government is constructing them daily and they are constructed with lies and malice.Β  The citizens of this country are treated like enemies of the state.Β  There is an underlying cruelty behind the laws that are being considered/passed for the welfare of the people.Β  I pray for peace daily.Β  We are experiencing pandemic and the POTUS is literally withholding medical supplied from state governments!Β  Β Walls, fences, borders and obstructions.Β  What next...well, as for me, I am ready to vote in November.
