abandoned
no longer important
a lone fence
facing south bars nothing
a symbol of folly
a symbol of power turned powerless
barriers can’t staunch the tide of humanity
that oozes around them like water
the migrants find their way
around the man made obstacles
in their search, in their dream
of a better life
no longer important

facing south bars nothing
a symbol of folly
a symbol of power turned powerless
barriers can’t staunch the tide of humanity
that oozes around them like water
