Build that Fence!

By Vijaya Sundaram
A fence is good, you say?
To keep people out?
Or to keep you in?
Go ahead, you can stay.
We’re happy to go, to know
We won’t see you again.
If you build a fence,
Don’t you dare leave.
Stay behind.
You may rot there,
Or you may grieve,
For all we care.
While, we, we shall dance
Freely, and sing, and play
And make music and love
The livelong day.
Go ahead, and fester
In your cesspool of hate
Wallow in it, drown in it,
When you come to your senses
It will be too late
We won’t miss you, not a bit!
We will roam free among
Clouds and mountain-tops,
And we shall live and love
And learn, and laugh, and
Leave the earth a better place,
While you, with your fences
And your defences,
And your offending lying eyes
Will be nothing, nothing!
Go ahead, build that fence!
