Day 12 – Shut Up Wall! (Lockdown Edition)

The walls would say to get up
They’d say that the time you have spent
Staring at this flickering window into the 
True color of humanity is foolish
And short

For every episode you watch, you could be writing
For every episode you watch, you could be running
For every episode you watch, you could be growing

I hear the walls’ message, 
Both resolute and unwavering
So when I get up to get my third beer of the day, I laugh.

For every wall that is built, there is an ending
For every wall that is built, there is a crumbling
For every wall that is built, there is a demolition 

When I die, it will be natural. 
When a wall does, it will be man-made.
A wall knows nothing of life
So why should I care what it says?
