Papier-Mache (lessons from the lawfirm)

I wish you saw through the barricade
     that I wear for self-defense.
Somehow, I wish I knew a way
     to break down the pretense.

The paper war surrounding us
     is only paper thin.
Drawing the line of when to stop
     has really made me tense.

Wish oppression would cease to be
     and walls be broken down.
Wish you knew what's inside of me
     without the words pronounced.

But paper wars and paper walls
     have plastered my tactics well.
I feel like we're made of papier-mache.
Paper war is hell.

“Paper war is hell.”

Oh heck yeah...

Especially when your Air Force is made up of,
paper airplanes...

Seriously,
I know what you mean...

Although the sheets are extremely light,
it’s the words that they carry, that make so
many things so difficult sometimes...

This was great iliana!

I enjoyed!

jo,
  I noticed how you varied your title from that posted on the table of contents or scrolling blueboard, whichever you prefer.  Was this deliberate?  Either way, it works well!  I can imagine this well, rather, I can feel this well...
   Take care.  Great job!

(big angel hugs) I truly believe being a lawyer is one of the worst jobs anyone can have, dearest friend, I'd be embarrased to ever become one as I have no time or interest for these "wars", God Bless You, you certainly learned a lot there, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jo, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
