Poetry: A fine line

by Mary Siddek

Created on: May 28, 2011


Lines


Age Lines, Pantie lines,

A Line in the Sand.

Rich, Poor or in between we walk an endless amount of lines

in our lives.


Stay Behind the Line.

You are crossing the Line.

Wait in line till called.

We like to believe that Lines can lead us to good things,

like Food, Comfort or Help.

But these Lines do nothing, Help no one

They are only crowd control.


Sign on the Line.

Hold the Line.

Walk the Line.

End of the Line.


Lines are used to Deny Access,

Divide People,

Underscore inequality.


If these lines were paint we could Color the World,

Or Blot It Out.

If these lines were food, HUNGER would be no more.

If these lines were Love there would  BE NO MORE WARS.


I am weary of Lines that Delay, Define, Deny.

I have turned my Lines into WORDS and wrote this.

   Now What About You?
