If These Walls Could Talk

If These Walls Could Talk

If these walls could talk 
they would tell of some stories, 
about how there were wars 
fought through battle and glory. 

If these walls could talk 
about a many mother and child, 
losses that were from birth 
others grown to be wild. 

If these walls could talk 
about Native Indians and their friends, 
drinking and fighting, once in a while 
but, friends to the bitter end. 

If these walls would talk 
about horses being rode by cowboys, 
shooting up the entire town 
was something, they did enjoy.

James Horn April 10, 2015 at 6:44 AM So simple yet still extravagant. What conclusion should I arrive at? What do talking walls try to say? Make sure things done are always my way. More poems I write will eventually know my ability will always grow and grow. Jim Horn
