Silent and big walls still screaming

Published: 2026-03-06

(A connected lament walls wired and wanting, souls silent and screaming.)


All these silent walls covered with all the wires wish they should have come out of it

All these silent walls covered with wires wished souls inside them should have spoken to each other

All these silent walls stare at those wires wished they'd worn great adornments, vibrant murals, blooming garlands, sparkling chandeliers

All these silent walls starving a touch from birds' feet and those feathers are now screaming that the wires should have been cut down

All these silent walls starving a touch from tree leaves wished they'd edged closer to those leaves before the wires barred the feel of it

All these silent walls covered with all the wires wish they should have come out of it

All these silent walls still gaze at those rainy days, birds' wet feathers, clumsy souls who huddle in shade, dodging the joy of sky-droplets straight-falling

But all they get is those plastic sheets to keep the wires safe, which stops those joys of droplets hitting on those silent walls

All these silent walls covered with all the wires wish they should have come out of it

All those big walls not covered by wires wish they could have said to those silent walls that there is no joy if you are covered in wires or not

All these big walls with all the big chandeliers, paintings, flowers, screaming that there is no joy in here and wished they could have said to those silent walls that all these big props don't matter

All these big and silent walls screaming that souls should have been better

All these big and silent walls screaming that souls should have done things good

All these big and silent walls screaming that there is no joy in these props and wires

All these silent walls still taking those heavy weights wish they could have said please don't turn us into ruins there is a soul inside me

All these big walls still screaming that please turn me into the fine ruins there is no soul in here

All these walls still screaming but no souls notice it All these walls hoping that there is a better time coming up but there is no soul doing any better

All these Silent and Big walls so far away from souls at the same time they are too close at each and every soul
