So tough on the outside
the best of defenses
well hidden are men
who construct well
their fences.

I couldn’t agree more Oz. We tend to fence ourselves in thinking we’re keeping others out!

fences, walls, barriers
all are facades
none keep the rain out
all are misnomers
we present them as defences
they are

prisons.

Like Bob I must disagree, but can provide no substantiation for my position. Are you suggesting men are like M&M’s, the hard outer shell is essential to keep the gooey chocolate from getting everywhere?? Sorry, my stomach is growling this morning.

I couldn’t disagree more vehemently! (I’d love to stick around and comment further, but I just discovered a hole in my fence that I need to go repair…) 🙂
