Behind the Wall

Behind the Wall
Lies…
Incarceration
Harsh, Judgemental, Cruel.
Not the Regime.  Maybe.
Not that.  Maybe.
Them.
The Incarcerated
Dehumanized
So lacking in humanity
The wall seemingly shutting
Out all elements of kindliness of love.
Just containing longing.
Explosive tensions and rapidly decreasing enthusiasms
And disintegrating expectations.  Hold on.
Hold on.  Hold on.
Behind the wall.
Incarceration.
Don’t keep me
Let me out
Release?  Is there anything else?
Incarceration

Behind the Wall
