Burn the Walls, Build the Bridges

Burn the walls, build the bridges, For the gap is wide asunder; Destroy the hedge of bitterness, And remove the big barrier. A person sits in the nook, Alone and lonely in ages; For he makes many fences Instead of linking passages. Loneliness can never add Even a single second to one's life; It rather decreases his strength To skunk the pain and strife. Sin makes man unhappy, Though at first he enjoys; Little does he understand His relation with God it destroys. Behold the reckless people, Either young or old; Driven by blunder or error, They depart from the fold. What a chuffed and joyful one, He who walks in the right path; Shrugging off the wrong ways To avoid God's ire and wrath. Gladly must we bury iniquity, And turn it into ashes; Let us return to the Lord, Burn the walls, build the bridges.
