Walls

Man is

a great wall builder

the Berlin Wall

the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem

but the wall most impregnable

has a moat, flowing with fright,

around his heart

a wall without windows

for the spirit to breeze through

a wall without a door

for Love to walk in.

–Oswald Mtshali, Soweto poet
