25th Anniversary: When the Berlin Wall Fell
Lasrick writes Today is the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This retrospective describes how quickly the Wall was erected, and how Berliners were completely caught off guard by its construction: "Berlin's citizens woke up one morning in August 1961 to find coils of barbed wire running down the middle of their streets; the first inkling some people had that anything was amiss was when their subway train didn't stop at certain stations. Later, the first strands of wire were replaced with a cement wall, along with watchtowers, a wide 'death strip,' and an electrified fence."
Shaka, when the walls fell.
Oh come on, it's not like it's written in stone!
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
Will be built by Putin across Ukraine.
With his bare hands, while riding on a bear.
