Walls

Big houses have tall walls hiding the guarded behind keep the beauty for themselves Insects have no problem nor have birds, and cats go under the wall. It is about keeping people out of what once was their garden and in the shifting political wind they became expelled. The expelled people do have olive trees if they are not set afire by a people calling themselves “settlers,” an incongruity. Sometimes the people on the wrong side of the fence get their homes bulldozed; yet, they cling on despite degradation. They wait for the wind will turn in their favour. One day it will.
