The walls we build

My Wall...

As he gathered the gravel
And poured the water
Mixing by hand
The concrete mortar

Stone by Stone
And Brick by Brick
Built thin as well as Thick

The wall of exclusion
The wall of pain
The wall of emptiness
The wall of sorrow
The wall of loneliness

Shovel and Trowel
Hour by Hour
Rises higher and Higher
To erase the Sun
Sheltered Behind
As the only One

The wall he Built
To hear I'm Sorry
Of others Guilt

Stone by Stone
And brick by Brick
Carried across this Land
Stands behind a Wall
A giving Man.
