The Wall

This wall is tall and everywhere. 
Carefully built with utmost care. 
Jump over it? Don’t you dare!
For Day by day it gets stronger.

Profuse shall you bleed, if you bruise
Not in red but in slur and abuse.
It is neither the wall of a prison
Nor the wall of Berlin.

It is the wall of Gender 
That you and I together built.
Try breaking it and you will see
More and more of'em being built.

Stop, will you? When you see
Hammers of hope pelt at it.
Break, won’t you? When you see
The tiny kids pass by it.
