Not Much Longer

How long will I say these words with nothing but this wall to direct them towards? How long will the needy dead ears press their will against the wall that is made with tears? How long will this delirium rust the center of the soul of the hungry dumb? How long 'till the barrier breaks and I can finally discover what a difference it makes? How much longer do I stand and wait For the self imprisoned travelers to unseal their fate? How much longer do I stand and scream while she kills herself with pleasure in a hollow dream?
