Wall Epiphany

Let's take a field trip to the outer reaches

to look down a moment: see there?

What is that line that separates each as

two regions: us and them? A river perhaps? In error

one might think so. But, no. It is human built.

"From what fabric?" you may well ask. Brick and mortals

is one reply: A stone on stone structure of fear and guilt. 

Historical cycle trail is another answer--a dynasty portal:

Northern Hun raids followed by Southern comfort decline, some say;

But this all assumes an either-or reality designed to separate.

Until faith opens wide the border by allowing both-and a way

in. But, we like definition, so we crucify the both-and trinity spirit.

And accept a false truth about what makes the great wall

denying that it really is our inability to accept all and none.
