TROUBLED WALLS
Troubled
walls
began to
yell,
plaster
from the
ceiling fell.
Crumbled
walls
began to
cry,
long after
the paint
was dry.
These walls
trembled
and shook,
no more
water in
the brook.
for need
of paint
and repair,
like running
a comb
through
their hair.
These walls
weathered
many storms,
now looking
tattered and
worn.
When your
walls begin
to shout
you'll
realise
what I'm
writing about.
