Walls

Although Trump is hell bent on building a real wall, there are many walls built between people, countries that can be impenetrable, unseen but they are still effectively dividing and causing on-going problems.

This concrete poem was built with that thought in mind.

Bridges not Walls

There is far too much talk about walls – especially from a certain person. We should surely be thinking about and working towards building bridges between nations, between our communities and between all age groups.

Some bridges aren’t built for transport, they’re rather trickier to construct…

 

Barriers of hate

walls of prejudice, racism

exacerbate rot.

 

Extending kindness

sympathy, friendship and  love

build bridges of hope.
