Walled Off

Go ahead and build the wall.
Erect it around everything you cherish.
Build it high with your ideals.
Shore it up with your hopes.
Pay for it with your boundless dreams.
I don’t care anymore.

Go ahead and keep them out,
Those that haunt your dreams.
This is your land.
This is also my land.
But you have won the power
And I just can’t care anymore.

Because it won’t bring anything back.
Language and life will evolve past you still
As you close you soul to save your body.
So waste your efforts trying
To wade against the tide of progress
And I’ll sit here drowning in my learned apathy.
