Fences

Fences mark a territory
however small a field may be,
if it is yours in all its glory,
a piece of pride for you to see.

Proud of everything you own
and explicitly not share,
you do in no case then condone
people’s neglect because you care.

Things that were hard to possess
and became your great delight
can easily cause much distress
for which you have to fence and fight.
