I Have a Huge Wall Up Around My Heart

Berlin? Meh! Call That A Wall?

Written on November 14th, 2009

 

It separates the Palestinians from the Israelis, 600km of steel reinforced concrete, 12m high... A wall? Pah!

It's a three thousand kilometre stone fence linking a series of armed fortresses, keeping the forbidden kingdom safe from the marauding barbarian hordes... Great What of What? Phooey!

Now look, here in this chest, this is a wall! It is a wall so tightly built of bitter bricks I am astonished that the heart beneath still beats.

    Haha! I must have been full of bravado -or something- the day I wrote that!

    I know that kind of heart. But be careful. You think that wall is impenetrable, but it isn't. One day it will just melt into nothing.
