We Put Up Walls

A stone wall stands
Chipped but strong
It keeps things in
Present lifelong

It stands tall
Helps to keep things out
Keeping it strong
That/s what it’s about

Thunder clouds form
The stone wall waits
Lives out the storm
Takes on what awaits

Still the wall crumbles
It/s loosing its will
Keeping out hate and love
Is a demanding skill

The wall falls to pieces
An unexpected tragedy
It/s cover finally creases
And gives you away
