Within city walls
Streets are calm,
Houses safe,
Home sweet home.
Cruel worlds lie beyond,
Banish pain,
Exile joy,
Home sweet home.

Within These Walls Home Sweet Home.
As I was walking by the ancient walls of the city of Cordoba, first built by the Roman founders of the city, around the second century, and later reinforced by subsequent conquerors from central Europe, the Visigoths, later Muslims from North Africa, and finally the Spanish Monarchs from the north of the country, I was wondering about our need to conquer and feel safe from subsequent conquerors.
We have been building walls around our houses and cities for centuries and and now, two thousand years on, we still need to feel safe. Now the enemy is a virus, not an army, but we still retreat back within our walls, because the safety we perceive in the prison of our own making, is more important than the happiness we give up by not venturing outside.
Home sweet home.
