Wall

Standing tall in disrepair
It doesnt care It’s just a wall
No one notices it standing there.
No one would panic were it to fall.

It’s just a wall
Solitary and cracked.
The church towers above
Everything the wall lacked.

They’re kind of like us
the buildings you see?
They all have imperfections
and a purpose, or three.

Sometimes the goal is hidden from view
sometimes it’s obvious what it’s supposed to do.
Whatever it does, it’s not very long
Before nature brings down concrete, no longer strong.
