A staunch, bottom stone that holds the weight of the wall
All of the other bricks down here are just broken
Chiseled down by previously made conditions
Predispositions cultivated by others
This strong brick though won't be broken, but will break out
Beaten, slashed, it will only shatter and cut them
Their intent is uncertain, most likely selfish
A manifestation of their own condition
Or maybe it’s a fear that runs black through their veins
Context gives sympathy they don’t return in kind
Ignoring our faces and each breaking voice
They try to cut out the undesired from the wall
Though this willful stone can support the other bricks
And can stay the same, won't be carved or taken
