War

White men with guns
Come shouting strange
noises at us
While we cower, and hide
Defenceless

Here come the Germans
Rounding up the Jews
While we stand on the
sidelines
Powerless to help

Iraq soldiers burn my home
My family trapped inside,
While I stand and watch
them burn
Helpless

I'm locked in living hell,
Unable to escape,
Surrounded by dead bodies
and armed soldiers
Trapped forever in
unspeakable torture
Despairing

Screaming, as bombs fall
meters away
Narrowly missing our house,
Dropped by English planes,
As our precious final days
slip through our fingers
Lost for ever

Running,
Running from the soldiers
Constantly knowing we'll fall
soon,
Hitting the ground with a
sickening thump,
Dead
