Chains

Arms 

Intertwined 

in solidarity 

outstretched 

hands 

offering 

neighborly

support...

Lands

Fenced 

between 

dwellings

borders

defining 

Identities...

Wires 

Barbed 

separating 

undesirables

weighted

ankles, 

wrists...

Cages

Holding 

cells 

dividing

abnormally

destroying

life. 

Strands 

Coding

a helix 

of double 

standards 

replicating 

who we 

are.
