Tear Down These Walls!

Oh, Blasphemers!

You speak so highly unto yourselves

To fulfill your needs.

A need for power!

Money & Power & Greed!

You shall be struck down--

Cast upon the stones

By the hands that you oppressed.

Your homes shall be raised to the ground

Lit by the fury of the the masses.

You may try to strike us down,

But we together can bring you to your knees time & time again.

We have been used as machines

To build the basis of your lavish lifestyles,

But we are a great machine!

And as individuals, the churning gears.

As one stops, the next in line shall cease,

And we all will finally halt.

The machine will go up in smoke

And your lifestyles will go the same.

There is power in numbers!

And we are greater than you all!

You cannot stop a tidal wave.

No matter how great the wall,

It will crumble with time.

well penned....karl marx was right when he said that a time will come when the oppressed will recognize their power and the oppressors will be overthrown...

"You cannot stop a tidal wave.
No matter how great the wall,
It will crumble with time."
I enjoyed the complete poem. The above lines are true. Led by greed. Nature cannot be controlled. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
