Of history’s walls
None proved more ineffective
Save to rally mobs
Obsolete as built
Unfit for useful purpose
Divisive folly
The wall crumbles still
Allegorical symbol
Relic of its age
For Day 26 of Na/GloPoWriMo2017, NaPoWriMo.net challenges us to consider what future archaeologists, whether human or from alien civilization, will make of us? Today’s poems should seek answer that question, exploring a particular object or place from the point of view of some far-off, future scientist.
Faith Unlocked 
So true. I challenged my students just yesterday to name any wall in history that worked long term.
