BORDER

There ran a long barbed fence
stretching through a forest dense.
There were guards on either side -
Dawn or dusk, always to duty abide.
A squirrel lived in a tree trunk hole
who to the other side took a stroll.
Thumping boot marched both ways -
He remained aloof from vigilant gaze.

He met his friends on the other side
who did to him a secret confide.
His friend whispered into his ear -
"Listen to me without any fear.
The cause of the humans' downfall
is, they don't trust each other at all.
