only image

we can't really imagine
living in our basement all day
trying to breathe sliently
so they think we ran away

hiding from your neighbors
living life from bang to boom
just trying to remember
what it was like in a sunny room

and we can't nearly imagine
what these people have been through
as if one day of attack
justified what we do

and all i'm asking of you
is to try to imagine
an endless night of huddling into a corner
not worrying about food or drink
but just living from moment to moment
wondering when yours will end
how it will feel when the bombs explode
will it all be dark
or will it all go white
will i be curled into this corner tomorrow night
no concept of time
no were to go
no worries of anything
but to be there in the morning
