fences root themselves in peoples minds
and become internal walls against open war between 'communities'.
Whilst the media feed the locals on each side cliches of their pasts
to help maintain the belief that the dividers remain 'peace walls'.
The better to sustain old enmities by means other than war.
How better to make 'cross community diplomacy'
each side repeating its losses to itself, and project the other side
as winners, all whilst pretending to listen to and empathize?
