Build Not a Wall of Trash

Build not a wall of trash When the old wall is cracked Do not ignore the gulf Make a mortar of steel And retaining-wall of granite Make your wall Mount Zion. Pelt not your wall with dirt Nor perforate on it many holes Or stuff it like a warehouse Your wall is not a lifting crane. The wall is your World The last man standing To walk with like railing When the vertebrae are weak To lean on like a pillar When wither like the flower To scratch your back for you When jolly fellows are gone. Build not now a wall of trash Or someday like plane you crash
