Tumbling down
The Berlin Wall, Germany, was a physical boundary
It separated Berlin East from West
It came between communism and capitalism, a quandary.
The demise of it was for the best.
In the East the freedoms were restricted,
People paranoid and manipulated.
In the West a miracle they depicted,
economy thrived, their freedoms stipulated.
Of course people left the East to be more free
So a wall was built of pillars and barbed wire
manned towers, an inner wall and electricity.
The people in the East depressed, so dire.
In 1980 people congregated to chip away.
Germany was reunited in October 1990 to celebrate
What a fantastic monumental collapse came that day.
Now both ways the folks can emigrate.
To us in the US it symbolized the fall
of communism in Europe, quite a relief.
This movement forever changed the world brawl
allowing democracy more open reign was the belief.
