The Silent Sinister Wall

Right by the corner, I know of a wall, 
That has seen it all
Men in the jaws of death
But it maintains stealth
And the man loses his breath
The wall stands intact
As if there was no impact

Another day, another dawn
Unknown to the man on the lawn
But the wall knows
There’s a screech and screams, 
Head against the wall
Blood paints the wall
And still man, befall 
The wall stands still.

The wall really scares
Its look it’s a snare
I pass by it as I text
Coldly it whispers you are next
BANG! ! ! ! ! 
Car bangs the wall
Death to all
And the wall still stands on, unhurt.
