We have built a wall,
so high and extensive,
impossible to traverse,
that we have accepted
its obstinate visage as part
of our natural landscape.
We have complacency
knowing that agreement,
no matter how unreasonable,
protects us from indulgence
and introspection which may
contradict artificiality.
We have allowed masses
to be ostracized,
cast beyond bricks and mortar,
to protect a facade
established by men
who grew fearing entropy.
We have hidden ourselves
in a bastille,
caressing the bars daily,
indoctrinated under guises
that the fortress enables
a free and fair mind.
We have lived here for ages
inside a stone chamber
which no one agrees upon,
but that has become stronger
through the convictions
of a shackled societal mind.
