Concrete walls,

Besser bricks,

Iron bars,

Wire mesh.

 

Wrought iron bed frames,

Porcelain wash basins,

Steel framed doors,

Concrete floors.

 

Razor wire,

Atop cyclone fences,

Enclosing well trod yards,

With concrete paths.

 

But all that steel and stone,

Iron and wire,

Cannot contain the sky.
