The Walls Came Down by Dave Moilanen
This artwork was inspired by an old 80’s song, The Walls Came Down by The Call. The song may have been written over 20 years ago but the words ring true today.
With political scandals and corruption happening on a daily basis, what the hell is happening in today’s society? We the little people are just the pawns of the politicans, and the politicans are the pawns of the corporate greed. I guess money can buy anything.
The Walls Came Down
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
And the walls came down
They stood there laughing
They’re not laughing anymore
The walls came down
Sanctuary fades
Congregation splits
Nightly military raids
The congregation splits
It’s a song of assassins
Ringin’ in your ears
We got terrorist thinking
Playing on fears
Well they blew the horns
And the walls came down
They’d all been warned
But the walls came down
I don’t think there are any Russians
And there ain’t no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playin’ with tanks
The Call

Wow Dave! Welcome back from the land of the Dragons. This is beautifully done and the words to the song just add even more significance to the piece. This is so different from your usual work, my jaw continues to drop as your explore your artistic challenges. Well done!
Thank you so much dear Carolyn! I had to come back to reality for a bit. I owed Butch an artwork. Now that I’m all fired up I think I will return to the land of dragons! ;-)
