Lizz Murphy - Poem 307: The world divided

THE WORLD DIVIDED

dispossessed

       surging

        fleeing

war     walls           

world divided

dispossessed 

           surging

fleeing

new walls           

dividing

dispossessed

      surging

        fleeing

barriers           

razor-wire

dispossessed

      surging

        fleeing

fleeing for their lives

the world divided

by walls

into frontlines
