Tearing Down The Wall!

tearing down the wall,
with hammers ablaze,
the wall that stood between

today and tomorrow....
crumbling down to dust,
hatreds and prejudices,

greed and apathy,
pride and ego.....
the wall that divided

humanity from the human,
the hungry from a meal,
the slave from his freedom....

the homeless from shelter,
the sick from the cure...
the child from his family,

and hope from despair....
tearing down the wall,
with hammers ablaze....

eyes set on the goal!
