Tables Or Walls Poem by Barry Middleton

there is no beauty in a wall
they have a wicked use
to isolate our fear and greed
and evil and abuse

a wall is false security
not one cannot be scaled
and history can testify
that every wall has failed

and even worse they separate
how can we understand
by banishment and deep mistrust
the people we have banned

let's spend our money on a feast
for freedom is a test
then we may find no need for walls
but welcome every guest
