The Wall

It's lonely here
standing by the great wall.
It can't be moved,
it can't be broken,
yet I sit here trying to break through.

I hear people on the other side,
they can't hear me.
They too have a wall;
jealousy and righteous hatred...
mine; fear and loneliness.

The great wall climbs and climbs;
without beginning, without end...
The wall cannot be broken.
The wall cannot be moved,
still, a stone is missing.

Through that space I see,
a person just like me...
breaking through.
