If walls had eyes and ears



They offer confinement to many activities,
Many shady businesses are done here,
Many evil is done here,
Also Benedictus is done here,
If only walls had eyes and ears.

Its where the devil directs people to sin,
It’s where Jesus appeared and told the disciples to preach the gospel,
It’s where post-election violence was planned,
It’s where reconciliation was found,
It’s where slavery was planned,
It’s where freedom was found,
It’s where the dead are kept,
It’s where babies are born too.

If walls had eyes and ears,
How much could they have seen and heard?
A mouth would be a blessing to add to it,
In search of truth we would seek it,
Some bitter some relieving,
There would be no need for witnesses,
The wall would tell it all.

  1. if the walls had ears,
    then we would hear,
    wisdom so profound.
    in a gentle melow sound.
    truth as it is no hiding in a hound,
    just as it is without going in rounds!

    If the wall had ears,
    then people would live in fear,
    of planning evils to tear,
    becase the truth would make them shed a tear.

    but since they don't have ears,
    wickdeness continues to shear,
    broken hearts we will have to mend,
    broken spirits have to tend,
    and prayers to be strong continually send.
