Walls

Men often build walls

which bring on their falls

when they insist on keeping their minds closed

Beliefs most unwavering

when they ought to be savoring

the good that they seem to oppose

Their feelings unspoken

as if they were broken

so that they'd always appear quite composed

With emotions held back

as if under attack

such a weakness if bared and exposed

Their authority would be lost

that's much too high of a cost

they're the king and ought not be deposed

So it's not much of a puzzle

why they're flexing their muscle

they're just insuring that their will is imposed

They're now living in a bubble

creating most of their own trouble

it's their foolish pride that should be quickly disposed

If they'd only open their mind

so much less stress they would find

life would improve, now don't you suppose
