The Invisible Wall

I can't see it

nor can you

but I am sure

you know, it's there

I have questioned often

"why should it be so high?"

Elders told me-"Child,

it's just meant to be"

I was pulled back when

I tried jumping across

For they believe it is

Against 'certain' laws

I asked mother-

"Who decides, who

lives on which side

of this great wall?"

She replied-

"it's your birth"

Confused, but yet accepting,

I grew up with that answer

Often wondering-

would it be different,

had I been born

across this wall?

For everything was divided

by this wall-

our beliefs, our needs

our privileges, our deeds

A few did try

crossing over

A few even tried

breaking it down

But nothing ever

changed

It still stood great and high

Even the Gods

seem to abide

to this 'wall'

in their blessings

For how many

more years

will this go on?

Will it never break?

Wouldn't the world want to see

how different it would be

in the absence of -

The Invisible Wall ?
