I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one dayAnd you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Here is the downloadable file about Berlin Wall.
When it comes to Trump Wall, I will show a wonderful PPT made by a former student of mine.
Here there is a website about the Wailing Wall: https://www.touristisrael.com/western-wall/15946/.
Last but not least, the image below was taken from the Web and depicts another type of wall.
The scene derives from the second season of the TV-series The Handmaid's Tale.
