Green, blue, and white
Walls are outta sight
Short, tall, and wide
Walls just blow my mind
Keepin' things out
Your voice when you shout
Keepin' things in
They could never hold Quinn
Bricks, sticks, and straw
A finer thing noone could draw
On a wall the size of Egypt
Even a blind man could have seen it
Windows, doors, and decorations
Math equations and quotations
The walls were built to keep you in
Though you break through and march again

Poetry: Walls
by B. Harris
My wall is high and wide.
It towers over me, causing the shadow
to be cast over my life
The wall was built up slowly
over
by Adam Smith
Walls
These walls close me in
They surround me in fear
I cannot leave my house
There are horrible things out there
by Jon Coe
At first, I blocked out all the voices
I was too young to make my choices
Comfort, was a bucket of concrete
Red bricks made
by Livenbyfaith
I remember the day the ground work started,
Great noise echoed throughout the land.
A hole was dug where my heart was once
I’ve dug my hole too deep,
I’ve built my walls too high,
I’ve made my fortress too strong.
Only God can
