Demolition

Brick by brick,

we can demolish

it. Rome certainly wasn’t

destroyed in a day.

(Unless that day was

August 24, 410 AD.

When the Barbarians

sacked Rome.)

But metaphorically

speaking, we can

dismantle the intangible

walls and imaginary blockades

keeping us apart.   

We can demolish the

bastions of willful ignorance

and illuminate their halls

with the streaming light

of possibility.

It can all be torn down,

trampled and pulverized,

the walls of the small minded hibernationists,

the ostriches with their heads in the

sands of time.

We can show them it can all be re-made,

re-imagined, re-engineered,

re-thought and tried again,

and again, until we get it right.

Demolitions are only the start.

The preconceived notions of what

walls are, their impenetrability, their,

strength are merely projections of what

we’ve been told they are.  We can tear

down any wall, like barbarians.
