Notes About The Poem

Barb Wire Fence

Barb wire fence

 ---I stand in front of a barb wire fence ---
As they taunt as always, from the other side
People who have returned with the dark clouds
Thinking I will stupidly try to cross the fence
You still haven’t learned, I suppose you never will
Pathetic words spewed about, echo in fierce wind
Blowing, just as you need the wind to do for you
Your life is spent preying on innocent victims
The sickness is deeper than anything imaginable
Yet, given a million chances for help you refuse
Instead, you choose the endless dark road to travel
        --- Lined with a barb wire fence ---
