This world built of many walls
connecting borders of every nation
walls of brick and stone,
walls of cement and sand alike.
Walls of religion, saying your belief is what you are indebted to
walls of race, saying your colour lets me judge you,
walls of class, saying your wealth will make me respect you
walls of gender, saying you are not as much of a man
walls of roles, saying you are stereotyped into you who you are not
walls of boundaries, countries defining us and saying we are separated.
walls of differences, saying some can be seen and some cannot
walls cast shadows that create upheaval and inequality for eons long.
A legacy left by fathers and their fathers and fore fathers at hold
A prism that disperses colours but never makes it one
A history to behold while many truths unfold.
