The Man on the Wall

Who is the man who sits on the wall?

Why does he talk in riddles?

When does he eat, when does he sleep?

What is the purpose of his vigil?

Where does he find the thirst for his fight?


He is a man that wants to tear us apart.

He wants us to be confused and lost.

He doesn't rest until we bend to his will.

He want us all to crumble and criticize

Ourselves.

He wants us to measure us up to others

And crush us in the dissimilarities 

Of our bodies and minds.


Who is the man who sits on the wall?

Why, he is all of us.
