There is a force upon this earth
a force of evil intent disguised
by empathy guiding the masses into a
feudal system of unequal apportions.
Already the wall is built, conjured with
a news media of imagery used haphazardly,
a wall, to keep in the intellect those who
cannot relate to simplicity that, which
is the secret of life’s beginning,
a wall that nurtures minds of organized chaos
whilst prohibiting precious sentiment
a ploy of the low life, those kept outside
of the wall except for the menial tasks
befitting his master!

Your concept of this "evil wall" is brilliant, Harry. There are forces at work that promote organized chaos and the metaphor you use is deeply thought-provoking. Awesome! Love, Carolyn
