Let's Build The Wall Poem by Randy McClave

Let's build us a wall to keep everyone out
Let's build us a wall even if they scream and shout,
To the heavens it must rise to protect us one and all
Then we all will be finally defended, so let's build us a wall.
Around the wall we won't need any windows or doors
So, no one can peer in as we hide behind our shores,
On the outside of the wall we should also bury mines
And also place, "Sold", "Get Out! " and "Not Welcome" signs

Let's build us a wall, so that we can keep ourselves in
Let's speak the same language and have the same colored skin,
With the same religion, we can all share the same belief
And we will have no more poor or the needy, or sadness and grief.
There will be no more murders or killers inside our blockade
And no more rapists or immigrants no one will be afraid,
Now we all can stand brave and proud and independent and tall
When we all get together and build ourselves, the wall.

Let's build us a wall that no man could ever destroy
Let's build it strong and fortified, so that God it will annoy,
On the wall we can post signs or draw religious graffiti
The wall will even overshadow, "The Statue Of Liberty".
We will become a country club, only a few will be allowed
Remember we are Americans, free and independent and proud,
Now we can build ourselves a wall that we all can stand behind
Now from foreigners and other beliefs we can be callous and blind.

Let's build us a wall like the Russians once did
Lets's build it to last forever, so no one will know what we did,
And then if anyone ever asks us did the wall make us humble
We will then remember the walls of Jericho; all walls will crumble.
A fence makes a good neighbor, but a wall will make a foe
And from stone or steel or concrete nothing good will ever grow,
Hatred, bigotry and prejudice is all that it will protect and yield
So, let us all come together, as we have a wall to build.
