---

the wall was the beginning of a rebellion

a catalyst that brought maligned together

soldiers marched upon the graves of men and women

and the oppressed who shouldered burdens from the pious

fought to preserve the safety of the future children

their spirits carved their pain into the walls

preserved in carbon to be heard for generations

and all were forced to finally hear their stifled voices

take form of echoes from the past that we take pride in

the blood that spilled to serve for our avail

the nameless crowd that rioted and wet their tongues with spit

for the faces of the cabinet that betrayed us

betrayers

who turned their backs on their own people

betrayers

but they will never take our pride from us

no they will have to try harder than that

cowards

remember the impact of their footprints

so we may follow in them for times to come
