Berliner Divisions

At a glance (glimpse) To the average tourist the wall is (was) the divide between east and west Checkpoint Charlie the obvious choice point of reference almost irreverent in its poignancy To see the cultural divisions needs close obs, more diligence The guest workers from the east restless from centuries of abuse and ethnic cleansing abrade against western ways I hate you, I don't know why I hate you but I do surfaces at night and the policing of this only adds to this increases the tension The Ufer bars, the nightclub under counter guns and hand outs of pills that could kill and do your intellect are all part of this In a harmonious kind of way this melds and mashes and makes up what is Berlin a very lovable and culturally diverse city.
