Gates' Speak…

I have stories to tell,

Of me and my fellas

Around the world.

Do you have a moment to spare?

.

From Heaven to Earth

And to the Netherworld,

We guard every entry and

Exit with full valour.

.

Gods, demons and fairies,

Kings, queens and messengers,

Leaders, followers and everyone

Have knocked and sought permission.

.

We have bore the brunt,

Of every protestor in hunt.

They tried to bring us down,

With stones, sticks and even bombs.

.

Love, hatred have been exchanged,

Through our grills several times.

We have been deeply soaked,

In warm kisses and salty tears.

.

We have quietly witnessed,

History being created around us.

No matter, who the leader is,

We have always protected.

.

A world without us,

Is next to impossible.

So are you ready to

Hear the Gates’ Speak??
