Behind the wall is the terrorizer,
the torturer,
the big statements,
Everywhere else is fear.
Fear feeds violence
New barriers are built, only this time in minds,
reinforcements brought in,
until coming first no longer matters...
As fear belongs to those who are first,
and to those who are trodden upon.
Build hope not walls.
