Human Walls

If you can tear down those walls And remain within them And be that friend to all When those walls are overrun And being oppressed from outside And never being that from within And never forsake any other Then you are a better human being For living within those walls And feeling first - and knowing more Then you are for tearing them down And becoming anything less then you would become - being without them.
