Take Down The Fences-Open The Gates

Take down the fences!

 Barracades that hold back the throngs

Open the gates!

Fingers reach through the spaces 

 

No school

No food

No home 

 

I will take down the fences!

Tear down the walls with words of wisdom

Put books into the hands of those who have none

I will open the gates!

Open the eyes of the greedy and the blind

 

Why are the fences up?

People begging on the streets

While others feast on prospierity 

Why are the gates closed?

Closing the door to chance
