fences take root in peoples minds to become
the internal walls that suspend the wars,
which also make 'communities'.
The media feed the locals on all sides
cliches about the past and myths
that have lost all flavour, to maintain
the local belief that the dividers remain 'peace walls'.
How better to sustain old enmities
by any other means than outright war?
How better to make 'cross community diplomacy'
each side repeating its losses to itself,
whilst pretending to listen the other side,
whilst having no empathy for anyone else
because they have none for themselves?
