israeli's walls
rws 
7-30-03
What can be kept, and locked away
poisons the soul, leads the mind astray

though walls are built to hide the guilt
no seldom settles, gravity’s tilt
While walls are thrown against the wind 
so slippery seethes secret ways soakin

What can be kept, and locked away
poisons the soul, leads the mind astray

Not winters freeze, nor spring time thaw
nor autumns frost nor summer roast
rests the wall, regardless toasts infer
it does a job, to cage the frenzy of the mob

Carving friend and foe alike as like 
to stretch and bless as strike
survey the scene 
the brown and crumbling 
soil around
once noble rock he too
embraced the falling 
soaring flew
shames the wall, its static pause

the rocking sound
the clarion call 
insults with heights
invents its end 
quick karmic freighted
native insights

What can be kept, and locked away
poisons the soul, leads the mind astray
