“FENCES”
God created heaven and earth so that we could live together,
I was thinking as i walked down the street, i looked at a fence,
Touching it with my hands i realized a man would have to climb,
To get to the other side he would have to go beyond where was legal.
This is my space!, you can’t come near it, since the beginning of time,
The world was meant to share, be free to roam, we started building fences.
Around our land, fences to keep others out and mark our territory,
It’s all been broken up into pieces, always a fight that leads to war.
How can any one man or nation own a piece of the sky, stay away they say,
Beyond the sky, do we all have a right to it or is it claimed by the powerful.
Stay away from here!, this is my ocean, be warned or we go to war, do you hear.?
No drink of water for you, someone else owns this lake, river, or stream,
Dirt is not free anymore, there’s a price to be paid, money to be made.
Be careful as soon the air we breathe will not be free, who takes charge i wonder,
If we lived as one and shared the land, there would be room for every soul and man.

Such imagery to a cold world… Well written
My happiest days are where there are no fences. Here in our four house compound, we look out for one another, and the kids have the run of the place, regardless of which house is theirs.
Thank you foryour thoughts.
