walls

the walls i built to protect myself
i let them fall down
and it wasnt easy it was work
lots of strenuous work
it took so many years to accomplish
and foolishly i told myself
never again would they go up
but its starting now
i feel the bricks being placed
as each day brings me a new thing to fear
so all the work was for nothing
all the years a waste
because the walls are building back up
brick by brick they go higher
soon to hide me from
all of lifes fire

Brick wall building is assumed in making life is noted in a fine manner which I liked in the form of poem -a'yan

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
