Berlin Wall



Berlin Wall

A large block of concrete
Locked in a museum
Its barbed wire twisted and rusted
Graffiti covers one side
Blood stains cover the other
People stand and stare
Some take pictures for their albums
All remember those who died
When they tried to escape oppression
They remember the few who escaped
Searching for the freedom they never had
It is more than a large block of concrete
Locked in a museum
Its barbed wire twisted and rusted
It is a memorial to lost freedom
It is a memorial to sacrifice
It is a memorial to human nature
And how it cannot be denied
