The Wall

Careless creatures casting their lines

Hooking up their profits
Greedy smiles on their faces
Not knowing they will fail one day
The wall comes crashing down
When they least expect it
Keep buffering it up with some mud and straw
It’ll hold til the next puff of wind
A trickle of oily rain
No chance the wall will hold up
Coming down fast like a ton of bricks
Time to build a new one
Something built to be made anew each time
One that doesn’t need to hold up
A roof over a shattered society
The cause and effect of it all
Wheel of time and cycle of seasons
Brush the cobwebs from the ruins
This wall stands the test of time
