I Miss These Two.

Walls

We built this wall to protect us

We built this wall to stop you getting in 

We built this wall to separate our hearts from yours 

We built this wall to create a divide.

We built it out of hatred 

We built it out of ignorance

We built it out of naiveté 

We built it out of evil

We built it out of lies

And then we left it there.

It's where our children grew up

And their children

Within the confines of these walls 

We passed down our beliefs 

And called them truth.

But the truth is 

When you replace  

Hatred with love 

Ignorance with acceptance 

Naïveté with knowledge 

Evil with good 

Lies with the truth, 

There is no wall 

There is no great divide 

There is no difference

But the colour of our skin.
