The Writing Is On The Wall

The Writing Is On The Wall

The writing is on the wall
read it,heed it
How?

 

we can't see it!


A Gray Antique wall
of Mason's stone
lined in pure gold


On the wall's facade
truth lies at the top
believe it!

still we can't scale it


The wall's height
reaches high places
hidden faces


This wall's breadth
a pyramid illusion
weeds plucked at the bottom


The wall's depth
a secret burial ground
centuries old


The writing is on the wall
peons exit stage left
Survival of the Elitist

NOW WE GET IT!

The poem expressing how we tend to think there are walls that we can not over come or we choose to ignore warning when we should listen. this was written well with a great lesson to think about.

You speak volumes here... how many times do we see but never understand always hoping there is more than meets the eye. Now I get it.

What I like about your poems is you have to go over it two or three times to fully understand it.
Your definitely my kind of poet.
A voice I can relate to.
