A Crack In The Wall

Hidden dramas by walls concealed.

Worn; now cracked, utterly revealed.

Ignominy consumes the gentle reflection.

Once buried scourge; today’s resurrection. 

No mortar, no sand; no matter.

Lifeless head offered up on a tarnished platter.

Days afore to be affronted again.

Tomorrow’s bright future; trashed by yesterday’s sin.

Dreams migratory crash impasses stoic reminder.

Walls now down, where revelations abound.

Pride begets humility; one more lesson found.

Cheap tricks reveal this fool’s silent demise.

Sweet secrets become boldly the beggars cry.

Walls which once concealed…now reveal.
