Bubble-Wrap

Some people build walls to protect their hearts

From attack.

But the problem with walls is that

You can’t hear through them,

So you don’t know when the assailant

Is on the other side,

Preparing to strike.

And we all know

Walls fall down.

Bridges burn—

And walls crumble.

So next time you decide to build a protective barrier,

Use bubble-wrap.

That way, you can see through it,

And you will hear the sound of

Any assailant attempting to pop through,

Leaving you time to prepare.

And if the purported assailant

Turns out to be both conqueror and savior,

Well, then

You will have made it a little easier to be saved.
