WALLS
#WALLS#
nandan bisht
Walls have two faces on either side
which don't talk to each other
Walls meet or arise from other walls
Walls do not just make institutions and nations,
they also make humans
Means walls have people on eitherside of them
That is there are walls between people
Expressly there are invisible walls inside and between people and walls
Eventually what we know as man is just a deep labyrinth, an inaccessible maze
Many faces branching out of one face and no two faces can ever meet
Then it is of no consequence whether the walls are made of human bodies or stone and bricks or invisible air
Walls merely mean and work to separate
Man from man.
