why build a wall
  
of words define the love we seek
when all of what it means create
these thousands knives of pain and curse
stab-cut the chest of |you| of |i|
to fall into our own disgrace
of crazy-dizzy-selfish-wants:
of what-you-should/of what-i-should
 
for you and i remember when
our love was grown like birds in air
flying gliding-- rugged mountains
where heaven's clouds hug-kissed the earth
as day smoothly bowed its knees
rested in night watching the stars
yes sometimes you  and i dont care--
came gloomy nights or stormy days 
as long as you as long as i 
were laughing-crying side by side
both-lips-both-eyes-both-hands were tied
only-by-care  only-by-love
of youandi as two in one
 
why now compute the time of none
what now dictates are lies of wants
no one is right when two un - tied
the IS of ARE of youandi
the ARE prevail the IS divide
and build these walls of hate and pride

so why oh why why build a wall
what now what more  how are we now
when walls of wants gripped us apart
destroyed our love our care still have

I really love this poem. . . it explains that love is such a downfall.
