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.
There is this wall.

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.

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.
