[hometext] => "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out And who I was like to give offense." Mending Wall Robert Frost [bodytext] => Before Me Unto my wall I wake Looking at the colored bricks I have used to shelter life And I look through the clear ones And see the object of my affections So I begin to choose Which bricks to loose Which bricks to rid of Seeking the cornerstone to topple it all With each bad selection Five seem to fill the void To make the wall taller So to end my struggle I step back and think Then selcet a brick to end this all As education is reached All obstacles shall collapse Before Me "To all those people seeking for a better life, education is your greatest tool" FM [comments] => 1 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Factor [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )
