The Berlin Wall
My teary eyes recall
The remnants of war
That once a family tore
Cold war tensions
Rising with contention
A guarded concrete barrier
Looking out from our carrier
Staring from our train
Rolling past this terrain
Like walking through a graveyard
Indeed, it was a graveyard
On the east or west no gain
Reminding us all the pain
That caused this sorry eyesore
We all with cause abhor
Mr. Gorbachev, “Tear down this wall”
That this much hate should fall
A Russian, an American hero
They sought a better tomorrow
On this trip my eyes elated
Our hearts this time decorated
The wall finally came down
Hand in hand we’ll walk across to town
By Edwin Janney 1989
