Con Este Muro: Translated!



With This Wall
By Wilgëens "AfroLatino" Rosenberg.


Between you and I,
There is this wall.
A
resentment before our eyes,
An
embarrassment to the world.

Behind this wall is
you and I.
Not
you or I alone,
But all that is
mean and nice
Is why we never get along.

Between
you and I,
There are now many secrets.
So are the inks of our combined
pride...
Our pasts which may have many regrets.

But behind this wall is you and I.
Our
glories and shame.
The
love and hate we hide;
But still, the worries are the same.

With this wall, we hide only our Hispaniola.
