I am the Wall , built by you
not of bricks, stones or hay
I am the Wall, built by you
made of hatred, prejudice and perceptions lay
I am the Wall, built by you
not to protect , nor shelter from sun or rain
I am the Wall , built by you
to divide lands and spread pain.
I am the Wall , built by you
not to strengthen or support your home
I am the Wall built by you
to weaken humanity, inviting a storm.
I am the Wall of narrow fragmentations
of caste and class , color and religion
I ruin lives , shatter nations
bring misery and despair beyond recognition
Destroy me today , bring me to the ground
Spread love , spread cheer
Let there be no boundaries around
Free this world from hatred and fear
Superb take on the prompt Sweety. Very different. We have surrounded us with so many walls.

Great post and the poem — shouldn’t this be required for all of us to reflect on, for a better world for all of us?
