The Barrier (Written By A Friend) Poem by Pete Rivera

The Barrier (Written By A Friend)



Alas, the time is nigh
The time to correct all wrong
Let out a sigh
Begin by singing a song
End by giving a toast
For we know we gave it our all
We are not here to boast
For no man is too big or small

May all the men and women, big and small
Break down this barrier, this gigantic wall
Now we must join hands and rejoice
For we have made the most difficult choice

Through our struggle, we have grown strong
We have shown the bonds of our hearts
We have corrected the most evil wrong
We have healed this world's deadly scar
All people sing a song
We have started a new era
Go, my friends and sound the gong
All people can rejoice together

May all the men and women, big and small
Break down this barrier, this gigantic wall
Now we must join hands and rejoice
For we have made the most difficult choice

We have heard our call
We have played our roles
Now we have broken the wall
We looked into our souls
We are bonded by our love
Hand in hand and peace in mind
Our symbol, the majestic dove
We will leave no one behind

May all the men and women, big and small
Break down this barrier, this gigantic wall
Now we must join hands and rejoice
For we have made the most difficult choice
