build a barrier and others will respond by building one as well
there are barriers that we don’t notice because they’ve always been there
we build barriers for protection; often to protect them from us
we tend to believe that if there’s a door it is easily opened
the snow doesn’t care that we put up barriers snow does what snow does
if we are lucky there will be a warning on barriers we face
barriers we build are vulnerable to what we don’t understand
barriers exist but sometimes, if we look close there’s a way around
even forgotten the barriers we have built continue to stand
it’s for our safety that’s what we claim, but really it’s decoration
