The earth has no borders

The wall trumpets alarm

Fear is breathing slowly

Quietly on both sides

We have hunger

We have lust

We have feelings

We have love

The wall cost money

We have no food

The wall is tall

We cannot see

The wall is thick

We cannot hear

The wall cast a shadow

We have no light 

The wall is a barrier 

We have no resonance 

The trumpets are silent

They have no friends 

The earth has no borders

The earth is our home

When we look up

We see the sun

We see the stars

The universal family

There are no borders

All earth is energy

Expanding like a heart

Sharing with its family

Of bone and organs

Nourished by oxygen

Given by our microbial

Friends in the sea

And on the land

Everywhere and anywhere

It is clear to all life

The earth has no borders
