Steel bulwarks hide naked flesh.
No hammer levels these walls.
All humans are born builders,
But few demolish.
How can we see each other
when steel obscures our view?
Sound does not matter,
we hear what we think is right.
Our rigid bars hold us captive
Though we can escape,
We lie dead in our own prisons
Why do we seal ourselves away?
Come outside, the air is fresher.
The sun feels warm on chilly skin.
The free run and laugh together;
Prisoners weep inside their cells.

Let's tear the walls down hard
cause they never really worked
Bill Mallonnee
That's a line from my favorite lyricist that your poem made me think of. This is good stuff. I'll be looking for more.
