Wall
HERE YOU SIT UPON THE WALL
CLOSING YOUR EYES AND DREADING THE FALL
YOU SAY“IF I OPEN MY EYES WHERE SHOULD I LOOK,"
BUT EVIL AND HATRED ARE AS PLAIN AS AN OPEN BOOK.
IT IS NOT MY CONCERN,” YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF,
“ I’M POOR, I’VE NO TIME, OR I’M IN ILL HEALTH.
BUT IF TRUTH BE TOLD,
YOU MUST TAKE A STAND NOW, YOU MUST BE BOLD.
THE SOONER THE BETTER NO MATTER THE CAUSE,
PEOPLE ARE DYING, OH GOD! WHAT A LOSS.
YOU MUST JUMP OFF THE WALL AND TAKE A STAND,
HOLDING OUT A HELPING HAND
COLOUR, CREED, OR RELIGION, MUST NOT SLOW YOU DOWN,
SHOW YOUR CARD NOW, NOT JUST A DRESSING DOWN.
SHUTTING YOUR EYES BY SITTING ON THE WALL, IS EASY AND, SAD,
RIVERS OF BLOOD WILL CHURN YOUR GUTS, HOW LONG WILL YOU SIT ON THAT DESPICABLE WALL
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO,
MY WORDS DO HOLD TRUE.
THAT WALL WILL NOT HELP YOU TO ESCAPE,
YOUR OBLIGATIONS TO MANKIND, COME DOWN NOW
FOR GOD’S SAKE OR IT WILL BE TOO LATE.
