Break Down All Walls

Image: Water color on paper, J. P. Moriarty

It’s a blemish on the human race
That some walls can be seen from space;
Do we really need all this division and rage
Standing at this day and age?

This takes me back to the partition of India
Mao Zedong, Tito and Gaddafi of Libya;
Do away with chains that tether humanity
Break down all walls in the land o’ the free.
