Breaking Bricks In The Wall


Who built this wall?
They built it way too tall!
Every brick is labeled,
and it looks so unstable.
Bricks of animosity,
here are some of hypocracy.
The foundation is built on lies,
Fear is stacked to the sky!
There are bricks of shame,
and bricks of blame.
What is this wall trying to hide?
I must see the other side!
Bricks of anger I will remove,
smash bricks of bad attitudes!
Chip away at deceitful lusts,
Bring down violence is a must.
Bricks of hate coming down left and right.
This wall will crumble if it takes all night!
Down with all idolitries.
Breaking away all harmful impurities.
One Brick makes this wall stand tall,
destroy selfishness and it will fall!
So I hit it with all I got,
and each brick begins to drop.
Then I look to the other side
to see Someone's been helping me the whole time.
So I ask Him "Who built this wall between You and I?"
"You did, my son" was His reply.
