Unfairness doesn’t ask
it just imposes itself
at any opportunity given.

Tolerance rages against injustice
but silence is a requisite
for the weaker

and so there springs up a wall;
behind it
the wronged seek safety.

Cementing its survival
the newly created fortification
reassures safety and feigns itself
a trustworthy ally.

But need cracks barriers
even when they have want of
remaining and

together with the broken remnants
carefully stockpiled to hurl
in retaliation;

a defense launched
in self-preservation now readies itself
as ammunition.

Amazing, how even something
as solid as a brick wall
can be overcome.

Sending hugs, always...

Sweetie~
You dig deep ... and so effectively~

'But need cracks barriers
even when they have want of
remaining'

This thought seeped through the cracks and caught me in tender recall~

the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna
