Guards
crossing
fight against
deny egress.
Opened for commerce
free flow of all people
throngs celebrate holidays
cultural links lead to friendships.
Insular conflicts cause explosions;
barriers resume exacerbate fear;
resolutions proclaim isolation.
Cultures devolve - lack inspiration,
consumers miss imported goods,
simple desires bring pressure
securities explored
open new channels;
communities
open gates
cross a
bridge.
