The Wall Ver2

The Wall   (version 2)


Berlin terror
Pink Floyds pinkish era
Flying pigs
Mexican gigs
Rolling stones
Dead old bones
Behind tall walls
Cowards with guards stall
As we march towards better days
Jimi was always in a purple haze

Mahogany desks from Thailand rushed
Unfolding ideas, exploring concepts rotting in rust
Honor the monarch only if he is a butterfly
We the people must do as we must
Building walls is great
For the shortsighted and tiny mighted
For those with bountiful eyes and compassionate souls
Tear down the walls, and let our eyes explore
Taste the cultures, and reach for the sun
There is no wall to keep mankind undone
The universe is ours
Soon we shall over run



Notes: Certainly be fun to hear what you read into certain lines!

Charmaine Chircop November 28, 2016 at 1:14 AM I read you and I hear you....I.do not believe in walls Arthur..Never did... Sometimes the sea surrounding my isle feels like a wall to me..Imagine if there was a bridge to Sicily...Walls create islands no matter how big the country..Islands create solitude... Even in our lives..We wont solve problems if We build a wall...because problems will still re appear from the sky ..and from the tunnels and from thr underground...keeping order yes..but walls no.I do understand yr in between mexican lines Arthur Vaso November 28, 2016 at 8:42 PM Mind you Islands create mysteries, to be discovered and admired! I dream one day to visit Malta!
