The Berlin Wall: Poem

 

The Berlin Wall

Cracked walls

& Cracked souls

Burning in fire

In connected wire

Lives here n there

Seeking comfort

Seeking peace

Dwellers of fire

 seeking a grace

Perhaps an unknown passerby

Might have crossed by

A silent tear or an echo

wish create a wave in a fellow

Names buried in blood of Sand

Dreams buried by razored hands

Footsteps cherished under fear

Songs of joy closed in canned

Mothers stitched hope in a pockets

While children played in divided sun

Fathers memoried peace by banned

In chaos where toddlers learnt to run

When walls only heard

& didnt answered 

Our cracked love blossom

And hope for freedom 

The Berlin Wall

May rise and again fall

Only to adjust to song

To sing in spring & fall
