Across the countries ,
Around the houses too.
The Great Wall of China is ancient,
It is a fortification against invasion,
Really it is a wonderful monument.
The Great Wall divides Berlin.,
A physical division of east and west,
But it is a symbolic boundary of Democracy and Communism.
Walls divide and earmark the borders
An apparent way to limit the rightful ownership,
If not extensions would become encroachments.
Walls have other functions too,
Mental blocks build an imaginary wall,
Breaking the conducive interactions.
It is easy to bring down the brick walls,
A blow shatters them to a collapse,
Leaving the space unhindered.
It is a travail to shed the minds abstractions,
A trigger is enough to ignite the fury,
Evolving a unceremonious flutter.
The Chinese Wall is one of the seven wonders,
The Berlin Wall has been pulled down,
The agony builds stern walls that remain forever.
