WALLS



#WALLS#
nandan bisht

Walls have two faces on either side
which don't talk to each other

Walls meet or arise from other walls

Walls do not just make institutions and nations,
they also make humans

Means walls have people on eitherside of them

That is there are walls between people

Expressly there are invisible walls inside and between people and walls

Eventually what we know as man is just a deep labyrinth, an inaccessible maze

Many faces branching out of one face and no two faces can ever meet

Then it is of no consequence whether the walls are made of human bodies or stone and bricks or invisible air

Walls merely mean and work to separate
Man from man.
