Modupe Sefunmi Poet Personification

If These Walls Could Talk

If these walls could talk,
they would have been willing to mock,
many masquerading pious liars,
who put a mask on their true desires.

If these walls could talk,
they would have given the world a shock,
by recounting many unimaginable tales,
that could make some go off the rails.

If these walls could talk,
they would have been willing to balk,
at using their delicate eyes,
to witness another lives of lies.
