a home
is more than just walls
it requires a solid foundation
level ground
away from riverbanks
far from fault lines
a safe place
once a strong foundation is laid
the walls will grow tall
walls build up quickly
one must tear them down
build doors
allow others in
homes aren't completely self reliant
next is the windows
punch those out
never lose sight of what's outside
if anything
just buy blinds
add additional protection
a roof
in a couple of years
repaint the walls
level the floors
patch the roof
without preservation
this home will crumble
with it
