Every day, someone mightier builds up another wall.

They say sky is limitless.
Lie?
Ignorance?
Deception?

Our skies are divided
by narrow horizons of
color and creed
gods and deed
flags and seat,
The narrow horizons
Borne
Out of the mind.

Every day
Across these horizons
I cross the borders
And walk
Beyond the territory of human creation.
Every day
Someone mightier
Builds up another wall –
I hit and fall,
Everyday,
I stumble, limp
And walk again
Crossing new boundaries.

Will you join me
To break the walls?
To across all the limiting horizons?
And truly say –
The sky limitless!
