crossing over

I prefer to cross bridges than scale fences or walls

bridges allow traffic either way
fences are boundaries what else to say

one lends itself to a continual flow
the other clearly says stop, do not go

one encourages diversity and tolerance
the other blocks and limits, no conference

seen men saved by a human chain
risking their lives in torrid weather
they formed a human bridge to save

I’ve seen animals completely bewildered
banging themselves senseless against fences
their fear keeps them captive, they see no escape

do you build bridges or erect fences?

Friday Fun – bridges
