Cracked Walls
This house is not built with hay
Nor is it constructed with mud
Its bricks are well burnt and cured
Its foundation is on a solid rock
Yet the walls are cracked
Not caused by denudation or tremor.
Greed, hatred, insecurity and dishonesty
Engineered these visible cracks
But let it be known, this house must not fall
This heritage must be preserved
Else the unborn will shout woe
That once a solid house laid in ruins
Babatunde Aremu

Well, we could say it is to let the light in. Leonard Cohen or Shakespeare?
I had a brick house that cracked. I understand cracks, but not when they go through bricks rather than around. Like a force we aren’t aware of.
