Analysis of The fenceless
Len Lewis 1943 (Port of Spain, Trinidad)
You're either ‘for' or ‘against';
If you know what I mean.
It is this side or that;
there's no ‘in-between'.
Try your best to be fenceless
make your best choice.
The fence is just
no place to mount;
if your opinion's voice
is ever going to count.
