WALLS

As the saying goes 'If walls could speak' 
What tales would they tell of laughter & shrieks. 
But stoic they stand tall & majestic 
Proud of their silence, their honour still innocent. 
The soul so pure, so true, so good 
Always tells a man what he should 
The body a wall, a barrier so strong, 
No soul today can reach the heart. 
Covered with soot & grime & dust 
the modern soul trembles covered in rust.. 
Walls they both are, walls to protect, 
But one knows its duty, the body just forgets.. 
The helpless soul today a mere spectator 
As walls speak the body talks & jeers 
Buried deep, inside the deepest grave, 
a cry echoes lost to the shambles..
