The walls are the publishers of the poor.

Summary

This quote suggests that the expression of ideas and stories belongs to those who have limited resources or lack access to the traditional channels of publishing. It implies that those who are marginalized or excluded from mainstream platforms can find creative outlets for their voices on the walls of public spaces. Walls become a canvas for self-expression and offer a platform for individuals to share their stories and ideas with others, even though they may not have the means to publish their work through conventional means.
