Barriers, limits, chaff,
to be burned away, cast off
artificial walls, failing to forgive,
failing to love, failing to see similarities
creating a chasm, a schism,
differences where none exist
keeping us apart, from our father
our creator, our loving God
Apart from our brother, our sister, our neighbor
drawing lines, distinctions, demarcations
Those not made by God
They are not seen by the creator
all are his children
all receiving grace
those who accept his offering of love
and live for Christ alone
