The Wall and the Fence

Young Germans on the wrong side of a wall. Imagine, if you can, their awful dread! Before that great monstrosity can fall, young Germans on the wrong side of a wall, knowing the cost of freedom is not small, climb up that wall, but soldiers shoot them dead. Young Germans on the wrong side of a wall. Imagine, if you can, their awful dread. A short time later, many miles away, a barrier is safely being crossed. Youngsters jump a tall fence, but it’s child’s play. A short time later, many miles away, no need to tremble or to think to pray, these kids have no inkling of freedom’s cost. A short time later, many miles away, a barrier is safely being crossed. 3/21/2016 for the Pick a Theme Poetry Contest of craig cornish Based on scenes from the movie: Bridge of Spies
