We all have walls

Written for the "Walls" competition

If there were a wall, around my whole house,
I could regulate who comes in and goes out
Yet I use gates and fences and my borders be known,
my humble abode is mine, which i own
Criminals, trespassers, always exist,
So these barriers are only there to assist
Deterring, who that might enter unlawful,
Does not make me or my motives so awful
My family, i give this type of protection,
For love of them all, not for your rejection
Leave your door open for any to come?
Then get ripped off and feel quite dumb
Lock all the windows and all the doors,
Safe inside your Walls, protecting whats yours
Not to do this for hate of your neighbors,
Protecting ourselves, and the fruits of our labors
We all have our boundaries, and laws to obey
Including our neighbors who live far away.
History shows us, that they have always existed
access to many places, can be quite restricted



let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach." (Nehemiah 2:17)
"He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls." (Proverbs 25:28 )
Author's Note
Understanding each others point of view is not saying one is right and the other is wrong.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:
and with all thy getting get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7
