currently listening to

looking for freedom,

david hasselhoff

there are no walls in the bible.

ok, so this is probably one of the

biggest lies

i have ever claimed,

but hear me out.

the only walls i can find

fall down at the sound of trumpets and cheers

or are used to collapse on confounded idiots

like jenga.

or they're there to support

but end up being used

for climbing and scaling

and escaping over

assisted by basket and rope

...conquering, in fact.

or they're evil

and used to dissuade and discourage

us.

or they are broken down

and then only rebuilt 

as something to do,

something to devote the heart to

and sing and dance and play on,

a bit like the new deal.

and then they get broken down again

or consumed in fire and blood.

or they are for facing during prayer

and for prayers to be written on

like graffiti

or whitewash

or they're imaginary, symbolic

- so they aren't real walls -

or they're made of water

of seas and rivers

- so they don't really count-

but walls that run through the middle of cities

to provoke

and divide

and cause torment,

there are none of.

no dykes to keep people out,

no ditches no keep people in,

no unfriendly impenetrable blockades

with signs saying that 

tresspasses

will be prosecuted.

 

ps. also,

i love ,

like children,

walking along the tops of walls.

but i'm not sure how this fits in...
