If Walls Could Talk

If walls could talk what stories they would tell
Of good and bad and Heaven and Hell
While standing tall and silent they have only one person in life
To keep us chained to our secrets and strife
While only a few get a chance to enter in
They know nothing of the wrath of sin
For they have no feeling 'til the people who live between
Make them strong, regal and keen
Regardless of their daily lives these walls keep standing still
While people refuse to tell people how they really feel
Yes, I do wish walls had the ability to talk and share
Things we need to know to help us live better  there
Between the walls that life can build over time and space.
Us giving them names without giving them a face.
