bricks upon bricks
and they make up a wall
they go high and they go wide
and they go nowhere at all.
bricks upon bricks
and you can break your head
against the wall.
bricks upon bricks
one day they will all
crumble and fall.
bricks upon bricks

Gs ,I'll try to remain one of your faithful readers you know that, you're worth it;) see I'm fist here..., tks for your sweet comment,with all the good wishes etc.. how can I not make it happen ;-), hey my first impression on reading this is the walls people build around them, for what? I often ask too, they go nowhere really, no one is invincible. That's just my interpretation. :) I like it.

-and yet we continue to build huge walls between us, that prevent communication and foster misunderstandings. So many of our problems stem from the walls we build bet ourselves - luckily some walls do crumble, but sadly not all of them...
why do we build so many walls around us and each other? it's sad. and you're right, we go nowhere at all when we do this.
very reflective poem and wonderful texture in these photographs (or painting?)
lovely gulnaz :)
When we are born we have no walls life makes them and we arange them and dive for cover. It's a shame the trust of childhood is shattered mercilessly leaving us afraid to taste life
We tend to build these walls round ouselves as we get older. We get very set in our ways and can't see through the walls unless we have some windows! We should try and break through the walls and see what's happening in the world around us.
bricks do make a wall
and nicely said by geetanjali that brick over brick does make a wall and leads to misconception and enemies
but also one more presepective
bricks do make foundations
and brick upon brick when formed leads to an excellent foundation and over which you can make a huge strong wall
and this wall can make you face all odds in life no matter how days go the wall supports you
but like anything in this world nothing last for ever
so when it falls you do not have a place to go
as u were dependent on the wall
but just because the wall feel
you should not blame the wall
but strive hard to make another wall..
thanx gulnaz for acknowledging my comments
and please do be free to drop by my blog
and do give me your comments
cheers
somehow reminds me of Floyd's 'The Wall' album...perhaps bcos of the common theme...a very thought-provoking post...
bricks are a starting point for many things. But they might fall sure but it also with too many bricks a home can be built a dream o soul...
Very interesting poem. I like it a lot. The rhythm of the repetitions remind me of Gertrude Stein.
gulnaz thanx for dropping by my blog
and thanx you for your comment
i will try to implememnt it...
and i like people who tell things directly
do drop by my blog regualarly too
Loved it.
I liked the effect of this. I felt as if I were trying to break the wall around me, only to realize it only existed in my mind.
That I call a poem,
simple topic, quite expressive.
Well done Gulnaz !!
'Bricks upon bricks,
you can make up a bridge,
they run long and and they run wide,
they can take you wherever you wish'
Is that the answer.??
Lovely writing, Gul :)
A beautiful message. It reminds me of Robert Frosts poem "Mending Wall".
Beautiful indeed.
Missy, nobody is invincible for sure.
thanks for YOUR sweet words. ;)
Geetanjali, perhaps its human to build these walls and
maybe it is equally human to want to break them.
Lorena, thanks Lo, glad you liked it. :) its a photograph.
Sue, Exactly! :)
Deewani, isnt that an exciting thought now. :)
Rakesh, thanks for your commet and i liked your perspective too. :)
Anil, now, that's a compliment. :) thanks
iamnasra, Avinash, its open to interpretation. of course, these bricks are like atoms of strength. what structures we build from them depends upon us.
thank you so much!
ruby, yep, some ppl do just that.
Sk8RN, All I know about Gertrude Stein, is that she was a feminist leader in the 70's and who did lots of good stuff for women. Its very flattering if the form of this reminds you of her. :)) thanks.
P-f, so the moral of the story is wear a helmet or take along heavy machinery to break through a wall, lol.
Faith, Jac, M, anumita, thank you guys! :)
mermaid, all the walls are in the mind. glad you liked it.
Rajesh, thanks for adding your lines. :)
am glad you liked and bridges are good structures too. :)
finn, the facade is protective and isnt it strange that when we need it most, in old age, it crumbles to dust.
Nicole, oh you are too kind to me! :) thanks!
So true,so well said..the bricks we keep constructing and shattering only to have more bricks..

'go nowhere at all' over and over and over... like crushing rocks into smaller and smaller pieces.

Sometimes I wonder why we build these walls - both imaginary and physical. Well written!
.:A:., i am glad you liked it! :)
perhaps we build them, coz it feels safer within them.
