rusting

Barb- wire, tied with wire to your concrete supports.
Not so new, as you rust away .
What is it you say, keep away! I'm dangerous.
What of your owner I bet he swore when you gashed his hands.
And this is why your in a sorrowful state.
With your supports falling apart, leaning out from the straight .
Rusting barb- wire all your really saying, is Hate, now go away.
And your owner never came back again, so there you stay until you fall.

Gosh your words suit this photo to a tee Olgit. It's sad and melancholic just like the fence.

I once tutored troubled children in Grade 6 right at their school for about 5 years but that is the extent of it.

A strange reminder of how much objects can teach. I also love the way Janic said it.
