The worse for us:
Is the Wall,
Which stands between
You and me.

 

It depends how we look
At the Wall.
Shall we start:
All over again,
To play a role
As fair humans should?
However, there is no running away
From the Wall.

 

The Wall puts to the test:
My emotions and your deceit.
When I look ahead,
I see the Wall.
When I look back,
I see the Wall.
The Wall exacts our purpose.
It separates me from you,
And you from me –  
To restructure our insolvent forms.

 

How much more has died
Within me…?
How much more will be killed
Of you…?
Flutters like a flag done to disgrace,
Staring from the Wall.

 

The worse for us:
Is the Wall,
Which stands between
You and me.
