The Wall



We are the wall that divides your freedom from the fear
We are the wall that separate your lives from the tears
We are the wall that permit you to be free and have fun
We are the wall that stands up strong when everybody runs
We are the wall between you and things you'd never wish to see
We are the wall and we are proud to be
We are the wall made of tears, blood and pain
We are the wall... don't make us die invain.
We are the wall...
We are the soldiers of the United States of America
PS this poem is only for soldiers that will not obey "unconstitutional" orders... and they will refuse to serve under the United Nations or any other foreign entity...
