Can you hear them?

Can you hear them now; The white lights exploding above our heads? Sweet smell of smoke and canned peaches. The door shakes violently against the concrete walls. Steel can make such a horrid noise. Scratching and scarping of it like nails on a chalk board. Aww, your shaking, Like a puppy in the rain. Why are you scared? I told you we are safe. I will let no one or thing hurt you. Pat , Pat , Pat your head, Your safe with me, I love you dear. No soldiers will take you, No bombs will burn out your light, No amount of smoke will kill us; No fear in this bomb shelter tonight.

Crash crash against the door,

We don't want your soldiers anymore
