one brick at a time

for centuries 

we drank  

from the same well 

celebrated festivals  

fought invaders 

colonizers alike 

 

since seven decades 

we've been building 

these walls 

brick by atomic brick 

to the glee  

of the mullahs  

and the pundits 

 

come, let's dream 

some day 

we'll bring it down

brick by brick
