when we acquire
properties,
we build walls
around them
for privacy and protection
for security and safety
from outside intervention
that's quite normal
I presume

when we purchase
a house or a farm,
it requires a modicum
of gated assurance,
for walls are meant
to secure the people
within its confines,
that's quite normal
I presume

so, what's the fuss
over a country's
security and protection
against extremist haters
that's not abnormal
I presume

Trump's wall was conceived
in much the same way,
on similar precepts
in the same principle
that's oh so, normal
I presume.
