The Walls
We were not the ground shakers
People will never think that
We made a difference
Poverty hunger and homelessness
It fell into our laps
And we dismissed it
All that pressure and negativity
Came crashing down
The walls around us
Got higher and higher
Our spirits
Shrank
The bad things in the world
Kept growing
Our numbers only
Fell apart
But the walls
Kept everything inside
We closed ourselves off
And just think
We will look back with regrets
Unless we make the change
