The boy behind the wall, <br />Oh! How I hear his woes. <br />He speaks of wisdom <br />which no one knows. <br />He knows fiction and he knows fact. <br />He knows history and he knows the future to come. <br />He knows it all, <br />he is not dumb. <br />He knows about courage <br />He knows about pain. <br />He knows what he has lost, <br />and what he has to gain. <br />He knows it all, <br />from behind the wall I hear his voice.<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/font-color-black-b-boy-behind-the-wall/
