The bombs are explosions in the air
With fragments falling into fields of clover
And the Shield helps us to breathe
In a time when life has become so fragile
And I wait for the boom sounds to eliminate
Whoever or whatever the enemy is
And my belly flattens as I wait for the sounds to dissipate
Anticipating the siren
That causes us to run for shelter
In a time when life exists
Why has hatred and anger taken over our sensibilities
And what is it that keeps us going
In times when the going gets rough
How will we exist in a world of confusion
And chaos and unreality
When grounding means fear
And love is kept hidden in the heart
How far can we move from our humanity
And
When will it all end
