A Thought
What is this war; should I flee
a desperate plea
ferocious cries
watered, but a dead tree
what is this war, with this loud gun
when all I hear is "run!"
as if there's danger?
when I'm just sitting, unbothered, in the sun
what is this darkness? when all I see is life
an unknown imagining a fight
who is this villain?
with tantrums, evil but a might
why are buildings burning, people - dead
while I lie on the floor - unsaid
"oh look she doesn't care!"
I do. should I know to go where? oh!
the unsaid emotions, the demanding flow
it's all in my head, all, my feelings low
no war, no villain, no fire, no words
I just lie there lifeless, with life and dead.
