The Wall

Take it down!
Crash it down!
Burn it down!
They mock me, tempt me

A sly few weave through the 
Microscopic cracks left
For breathing
Left
Just in case

They worm their way into my heart
They eat it out to the core
They swear they are done
Then eat some more

Slowly I replace the meat
But meat comes at a price
Time and coldness make it up
Plaster it well

I am the worker
I have no slaves

No money could keep a person
Tied down on such a cold
Hard surface 
In the middle of a snowfall

People are here
To remind me I am not
O.K.
