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.
