The Berlin Wall

Heard about the Berlin Wall It made a rather horrid fall It stood so tall in victory's palm Everyone here is far from calm... History has been made for the saddened days Leaving no room for the crowd of joyous praise It’s a tragedy that this wall came tumbling down Now, they are like headless clowns with a frown Stand tall now and get on the ball You will not fall like the Berlin Wall That wall got wrecked in a hurry…in a hurry… It must have destroyed and gave many a injury Heard about the Berlin Wall It made a rather horrid fall It stood so tall in victory's palm Everyone here is far from calm... Heard about the tragedy and chaos of it all Makes me mad and sad as I walk this hall Makes me think hope is little in these dark times How many times do we have to put up with these crimes? That strong Wall came tumbling down like the Wall of Jericho It came down with many a mighty blow…what a shameful show Stood so tall like a Knight in the night, shining bright with might Delight will rise after the anguish of all will fall with a fall so contrite Heard about the Berlin Wall It made a rather horrid fall It stood so tall in victory's palm Everyone here is far from calm... Heard about the innocent people dying, trying to get out of East Germany Echoing their shouts, yearning about their long-loved, long-lost freedom Wish I can mend their wounds and bring them back to life to set them free They wanted it tremendously, can’t blame them…heard their attempts of running to safety, sounding like midnight drums…I hear their pleading hums…as the debris of the wall collapsed into the palm of oblivion that leaves our faith in humanity to useless crumbs Prayers for the deaths of oh so many Prayers for the restoration and plenty Heard of the tragedy and it made me upset Hope the men who started this attack feel regret Heard about the Berlin Wall It made a rather horrid fall It stood so tall in victory's palm Everyone here is far from calm... Their destructive, avarice ways Will lead them awfully astray Well, these unpromising days Has hardly anything better to say

Went last year JW. I love history especially war. Its an awesome place . But for the fall it could possibly have been the Capital of the World and yet it still ended up being the Capital of the E.U. The wall is fascinating mate. Cheers Dude hope you are well have a nice weekend
