Walls

This poem is from my published poetry eBook, Sipping a Mix of Verse.

Walls—

barriers for

ourselves

and the outside world.

Their allegiance

resides with us—

within us.

Time

challenges

by way of neglect,

loss;

cracked pieces

tossed into a

fusion sea.

                                    

Graffiti soul

stares

back—

numbed and

tortured by

death.

Gouged,

missing parts,

yet still left

standing.

We kick

away the

broken pieces,

apply patches

until the

wrecking ball

of time

takes the

entire wall

down.

Protection and Cracks,
