These walls speak
Sometimes too choked with fear
To tell us about what happened here
These walls cry
Tears of dried blood from old scars
Of prejudice and pain behind those bars
These walls scream
Of silenced voices and separated lives
Edicts determining who endures and who thrives
These walls hide
Exhumed hatred, resurrected from a bygone era
When masked men darted knives of burning terror
These walls hear
Vitriolic words, disguised in the name of the holy book
Claiming promised lands with a stolen verse as the hook
These walls see
How we cower in shadows when we make that mark
That gives our permission for self selection into the ark
These walls know
Who carries blood and dirt on their hands
When we build new walls to extend divided lands
