Lines in the Sand

Draw a line
upon the sand,
State my boundary
best I can.
People moving
to and fro
Erase the line.
They didn't know.
Sharpened sticks
stuck in the sand,
People now should
understand.
Ocean comes
from behind.
Circumstance you know
is blind.
Made a wall
on the rocky hill.
I've very nearly
had my fill.
Force of gravity
works sure though slow.
I cry as the rocks
begin to roll.
Built a fortress
on the mountaintop,
People come
just to gawk.
Athene suddenly
appears
Dressed in her full
battlegear.
I didn't want
to get tough,
To have my edges
bare and rough.
I didn't plan
to be mean,
I only needed
my boundary seen.

It's short and neat..
and so is the message therein:
boundaries and such..
..yet even more, that the final two lines, stand alone!
very nice~
