Painted Walls

The ancient doors display
The pride of unknowns in carving,
Resemblance of yester-decades
Pure and untainted in saving
Nobody utters a word
Not a breath about their belonging,
Preserved through the crucial days
Their scripts with a tiny spark burning
For whom were those carved stones preserved?
For what lesson were those saved scripts recovered?
History as doormats at the entrance
Impress the visitors with learning,
While the window frames spotted with blood
Are washed before the eyes notice mourning.
Painted walls with plastered wounds
Clarify the doubts of cheating,
While my brethren of pride and honour
Prepares his next debate on uniting.
