The Wall

 

The wall,

Alone it stands,

Silent testimony,

To the fallen man.

The badge retired,

Polished and bright,

Keeps a quiet vigil,

Throughout the long night.

A mother’s tear,

A father’s cry,

A young child,

Questioning why.

Speak to me of peace,

Do not let my ears hear,

The sound of hearts breaking,

The sound of children’s tears.
