The earth has no borders
The wall trumpets alarm
Fear is breathing slowly
Quietly on both sides
We have hunger
We have lust
We have feelings
We have love
The wall cost money
We have no food
The wall is tall
We cannot see
The wall is thick
We cannot hear
The wall cast a shadow
We have no light
The wall is a barrier
We have no resonance
The trumpets are silent
They have no friends
The earth has no borders
The earth is our home
When we look up
We see the sun
We see the stars
The universal family
There are no borders
All earth is energy
Expanding like a heart
Sharing with its family
Of bone and organs
Nourished by oxygen
Given by our microbial
Friends in the sea
And on the land
Everywhere and anywhere
It is clear to all life
The earth has no borders
