The wire fence was wicked barbed restraining One side from the other making an Us and Them, On the rocks below the toll is slowly draining. Most barbs have a red rag from either Us or Them. The wall is amidst a field of rock and bramble Thorns adorn with the occasional red bloom Perhaps where ended a grieving scramble The next layer of rock will become their tomb. Beyond this waste of a land Us and Them live, Daily events of a simple passing mark slightly Taking only what the land can give Some rags soaked with blood blew away, A few had soaked a desperate soul That never made it to a brighter day.

Most barbs have a red rag from either Us or Them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You leave a lot to the imagination, however the stark reality is ever present. Good and gloomy~ |

Why is it we so often feel the Us and Them? M |
