Nicaragua: Fenced In


Managua is fenced in. Guards are posted. Gates are closed and locked. Children play behind fences topped with barbed wire. The poor cobble together metal siding; the middle erects bars and wire; the rich hire workers to build tall concrete, brick and artistic walls with lethal spikes placed carefully on high. I felt confined.
Life went on for the people that lived there. I witnessed a
spirit that would not stay behind walls and fences and wire.
