LIfe outside these walls


Outside these walls there is a world Full of crime, peace, intelligence, love, laughter I may be no word crafter but inspiration comes from Life outside these walls Freshmen year Veterans' Day all learned about the war and the soldiers to with memories to store and spared their lives for us Life outside these walls My grandpa was a World War 2 veteran Strong and tough, made of muscle and blood but on the ranch did not make the kids chew cud I write for the life outside these walls Nature is all around us The world is a magnificent place To take on at your own pace I write for those who Live outside these walls Inside these walls blood and guts, brains and brawn an emotional system to let us yawn at the boring stuff and bring in the exciting Life outside these walls Life outside these walls consist of war and tragedy, family and hope But living in a shell will not let you cope for outside these walls there is a wild thing to explore Outside these walls there is life A place for every person as well as a time to remember and mourn Life outside these walls outside my mind the process to be in more than one place with imagination and memory is why I write The walls outside may stop up but conquer it by climbing and see that there is a world to explore Life outside these walls
