these walls

These walls dont speak .. remaining silent and mum even when being spoken to, they maintain a glorious hush and uphold a sophisticated touch. Theses walls aren't much, if you see them them as such ... Often the perception is "well its just a wall", well its a very just wall because these walls have seen it all. From the Castles of the kings to the slums of the bums these walls are standing tall and you can knock down one or two but these walls will never fall.

These walls were there ... from the assassination of Lincoln to the imprisonment of Malcolm theses walls can bare ... witness ... these walls dont care, from the destruction of civilizations to the eruption of world powers they just stand and stare. These walls are fair, from the OJ not guilty blunder to the Hitler evasion of justice they just prefer ... to remain neutral ... These walls are rare, even though they are everywhere watching everything we do, they cant be compared ... to anything on planet earth.

these walls dont hide, they thrive in a humbly arrogant pride. These walls have a unique characteristic of being harshly benign. There is strict code of discipline within which these walls abide. You can say whatever the hell you want but these walls wont try ... When the blatant truth is being shamefully denied, they just stand and laugh because these wall dont lie. The most dominant question asked by these walls is why, the most dominant action is just to cry. As we slide down the abyss on this abysmal ride, perhaps we should be more like these walls and start asking why

Hi Owi.
I will dispute these walls having to cry or even asking why. That is because you have ended with giving the walls emotional characteristics after building a clear case for their neutrality and objectivity in the preceding paragraphs. I see this as somewhat contradictory.
