Kefah Omwanzi, alias, bushman Kimani wrote the following poem some time ago. The poem has touched me so much that it deserves to be spread to humanity.
"It matters little what they are called-
whether walls,
Barriers or fences -
The intention is the same :
To redefine human relations into "us" and "them"
It is about division,
The barriers that men erect,
In calculation or desperation,
To separate themselves from others,
or others from them
There are many types of walls:
Barriers between countries,
Walls around cities
And fences that zig-zag through
neighbourhoods-
Built Bridges;not walls of Shame!!"
Tear down the walls of babylon once for all!

Very interesting poem, specially since I just finished writing my article about division true cultural differences.
The most shamefull wall today is the one in Palestine. May it be teared down and shame on Israel for creating it.
