“And the walls came tumbling down”

As long as there are the "haves" and the "have-nots", the "haves" will continue to build walls to keep the "have-nots" away.

As long as one group of people believe their way of life is in danger from another group of people, walls will be built to separate them.

As long as there is oppression, there will be walls.

As long as there will be violence, there will be walls.

As long as there will be fear, there will be walls.

As long as there will be humans, there will be walls.

Here's the link to the following post.

And the walls should come tumbling down. Instead, governments are building them everywhere. Great monolithic structures cutting across our landscapes for all sorts of reasons. The benign ones muffle the noise of speeding cars for people living in homes too close to motorways. These are textured and coloured like some permanent art displays belying the concrete slabs they actually are. Others are much more sinister: concrete slabs that are used to control populations that we fear or do not like. We use the euphemism “security” to justify their “necessity” without any care for the human suffering going on behind them.

Whether for protection and security or to contain and imprison, walls are a symbol of failure – a failure to revel in freedom and embrace our common humanity: that is reason enough to bring them down.
