Building Walls
Plague of Other People
By: Charles Giuliano - Nov 13, 2016
Building Walls
Poe's
Masque of the Red Death
Pasolini's film Salo
120 Days of Sodom
Boccaccio's Decameron
Fortified against
Camus'
The Plague
Within the walls
Danse Macabre
Safe and contained
So it seemed
Ultimate insiders
Outside now
Mexicans
Aliens
All those not
Straight, white
God fearing
Christians
Everyone else
The others
Open season
Bagged and tagged
Deported in millions
Families divided
Young black men
Slaughtered by cops
Muslims vilified
Klan burning crosses
Protests turn ugly
Days of rage
Nothing new
China's Great Wall
Hadrian's in Britain
Keeping out Scots
Uncouth highlanders
Pox Romana
Never works
Our turn now
Burning bridges
Neo isolationism
Shadow boxing
Plato's The Cave
The rot within
Souls consumed
Drowning in venom
Toxic paranoia
Xenophobia
Old as time
Hic transit dracones
Fear eats itself
All is vanity
