Ametaphor is a figure of speech in which it is not the literal meaning, for example, she has a "heart of gold." she doesn't literally have a "heart of gold," but an author will say this to give us a beautiful way to describe a character trait of a character.
on lines 6-7, the metaphor of the wall is being compared to a scar on skin. what could a possible reason be of why the author, rios, uses such a metaphor?

Possibly because if something stained the wall, then it would not come off, would be hard to get off, or will not come off for a long time.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
