I’m trying to take in
All that’s going on.
People are dieing, grown men are crying.
And I don’t quite know what to think.
Who would have thought this could happen?
We were so sure of our safety.
No one thought we could be touched.
But from the sky, without warning,
Terror was brought to our soil.
I never thought that in my lifetime,
I would see such tragedies uncoil.
I’m scared to think what will come next.
We can’t just sit back and relax.
There must be justice,
We must react.
Lives were lost, landmarks too.
They can’t be replaced or brought back.
And that’s the cold, hard truth.
And now they say we’ll go to war.
And so more lives will be lost.
All I can think is “No, no, no more.”
No more guns,
No more knives,
And even if we win,
Is it worth more innocent lives?
I know I can’t stop it.
I’m only one person.
Things will happen that I can’t control.
This may take weeks,
Or it may take years.
It may end in victory or in defeat.
But guaranteed, there will be pain and tears.
As it is for me, it is for the world.
This is all slowly sinking in.
We may find as the future unfurls,
This war could be the means to THE END.
