The Insincerity of Walls

Every home has a 
sunny side
a shady side
sometimes it's a reflection of what goes on inside.

A homeless soul also has 
a sunny side
a shady side
Everything is out in the open
the rants, neglected skin and prayers
everything married to a single piece of air.

Walls are adept at containing the prayer and rant
               of the sheltered.

I'd argue that structures without walls are 
thicker in spirit and more sincere 
than those that have the luxury of walls.
