The world was once a plain field

Then some became bored

And they built walls

Then some became fearful

And they built walls

Then some became powerful

And they built walls

Then some became chaste

And they built walls

Then some became angry

And they built walls

Then some became pious

And they built walls

Then some became rich

And they built walls

Then some became united

And they built walls

Then the world became

A city of walls
