Walls Of Wisdom

by Hava Omer aged 14

Across the vast expanse of land, two titans stand their ground,
The Great Wall of China, a shield of stone profound,
Guarding ancient secrets, it whispers tales of yore,
While the Great Green Wall of Africa breathes life evermore.
One defends a culture, the other heals the Earth,
Both mighty in their purpose, yet a paradox of birth.

Eight thousand kilometers long, the greenery spreads,
The solution to famines, its glory never sheds.
Storming through Nigeria, handing out free shade,
What a generous wall – a wall that will never fade.
The Great Wall of China, colossal and vast,
A transportation corridor, linking futures to the past.
With unique architectural wonder, a feat of pure design,
Symbol of Chinese culture, standing the test of time.

The Great Green Wall, a perfect habitat proudly for all,
Home to two hundred and thirty-two million, a safe place to call.
With a therapeutic sight that drowns your worries in a flurry,
It plants beautiful images withing your cerebrum,
a wonderous hurry.
Its glory and wisdom reach their maximum height,
A beacon of hope, restoring day from night.

The Great Wall of China, the protector of the Silk Road trade route,
An ancient marvel, a brilliant attraction that drowns the world to its clout.
Making people travel from everywhere, in awe they stand,
To witness its grandeur and the stories etched in the land.

Together they flourish, two legacies intertwined,
One, a testament of of resilience, the other, of a nurturing mind.
In the face of adversity, they stand side by side,
A reminder that through unity and strength, we can turn the tide.
So let us cherish these wonders, their tales forever shared,
Through walls of stone and green, a future that is prepared.
