The Wall

The Wall No Future is the worst and so, I’ll dream of places I will go, Fantasies are for such as I, Facing the wall, the wall. Tomorrow I’ll drive to California, Oh, the flivver’s old but full of gas, What’s stopping you? You say. The wall, that blooming wall wall. I will fly over the Himalayas, And think of Tyrone Power, The peeking little snow flowers, Oh, but yes, there’s that d---- wall, the wall. Filled with the wanderlust, Gotta get outa town or bust, No one will have to know, but then There’s the wall, the wall.

Don't let that wall keep you in friend! Knock it down and race into bright sunshine, birds singing and life exploding in these merry-go-round called the mad racing world! Exceptional creativity, flow and message!A7

Life builds these walls and they get taller and thicker as the years pass, but still there is a way through and it waits inside of you. Often this wall only appears big because we fear taking that chance. I say hit it head on and see what is waiting on the other side. Nicely expressed Sunlite.

Well done! That wall, that dream blocking reality wall! Where's my hammer? I related to this and truly enjoyed it; the longing to go and logistics of stay. Good poem ... CayCay
