walls protect
walls divide
who am I to decide
or question
morality of the act
intent decides
intent divides
what unites or separates people
into a homogenous mass
or warring groups
critics deride
critics divide
opinions unverifiable
what or who survives
is the winner

I am for breaking down walls, questioning intent and challenging critics…
