The Nationality Wall
Behind The Wall is a land unknown,
It's watchers peer, how green-eyed they are.
Through the cracks and dentures hides a passage of culture
that has not yet been foretold:
Flashes of blue, the nature of our neptune,
Glimpses of red, the absorption of our atoms,
Glistens of white, the purity of our souls.
But a painted facade of tea dunks and beer brunch
Covers the cracks of a patriotic Britain,
Where the hateful vengeance and ignorance thrives
off impure bloodlines and narratives of despair:
Screams of suffering, can they not hear?
Complies on capacity, formed by communities of hostility,
Let the green-eyed watchers slide their backs down The Wall.
