The Great Zimbabwe Wall and its connection with the poem "Mending Walls"

The Zimbabwe Connection


                 It was said that the Great Zimbabwe Wall used to be a great civilization and a royal palace 
but now it is nothing but ruins. It used to be an ancient civilization housing 18 thousand people. Now it is a world heritage site by UNESCO. In the past the Great Zimbabwe Wall was firm, strong and impenetrable. But now the walls has fallen and crumbled to pieces and all that is left are the remains of the past. Its similar to the walls of doubt and insecurity we have when we are young and as we grow older we mature and slowly break that wall apart until were old and only memories of your immature self remain.The poem mending walls talks about how a good neighbor know's his/her boundaries and know when they have went too far.It was said that the walls were used to separate the commoners from the peasants . The Great Zimbabwe wall has no connection with the poem "Mending walls" because the royalty weren't good neighbors but they just shunned the people who they were arrogant to believe that they are inferior than the royalty.
