The Wall

Before I bulit the wall every terrorist of torment...at my expense,would make long and short distance,close encounter,house calls Laughing as I'd crawl into a corner I'd long desperately to disappear...full of fright and full of fear Clapping and cheering and singing their savage songs Bricks onto bricks...I built a strong and mighty wall Behind the wall made of a heart of stone and a head of steel Never believing the lie Not believing what's real No love...No light...No deal Keep the bad ones out and the good ones to Deserted on an island full of isolation blues Paying my debts...paying my dues Walking alone in solitary shoes From the east to the west my wall I could see From the ground to the sky my wall eclpised eternity I could hear Gods spoken words from a distance just like thunder I could hear His angels sing until I could not sleep or slumber Loneliness to lunacy one brick crumbled then another Sunlight shooting in bringing life instead of emptiness and hunger Beyond the wall I see dark and light each day still I keep a brick or two just to keep me sound and safe With Gods angels and His agents they keep the worthless and the wicked far away Now I can live a life that has purpose,plans,and peace God gives me His discernment and it disarms destructions deeds I don't have to isolate and shun the world...all creatures great and small Because I'm living in the light and I live beyond the wall

These walls that protect us...so necessary to hold onto our sanity and self preservation. I am smitten by the intensity of your powerful notions! God's blessings to you and yours. Mikki
