Great Wall of LA

Centuries past,
We forget our history is so vast
So much heritage has been amassed

Written in stone,
We were never alone,
Our history has been sown
Who could have known
We were never alone

Our history is not a mystery
We are connected by our life history
Our damages
Our advantages
Our bandages

Wounds don’t disappear
They’re still here
Shown without fear
Instead of whispered in our ear

Triumphs
Intermixed in our tears
Our history appears

Genocides
Divides
Prides

Independence
