You wouldn’t know.
Say sorry and take a ride
In your dream car,
Forget people who lose
Their whole world.
You wouldn’t understand
Eyes of a little girl,
Seen deliberate death,
A sky filled with flame
Instead of stars.
You haven’t been there,
The pain isn’t real,
A movie on the big screen,
The players on Broadway stage
Falling
Out of buildings
Out of mind.
You say thank you
For what you can’t appreciate
Because you’ve lost
Nothing.
You take your moment,
Acknowledge
Loss of the world outside
One life exists
For you, afraid
Of unseen faces,
Their cheeks stained with ash,
Blood, hope,
Honor.
Fear builds walls
Around ignorance,
Destroying
Towers of beautiful life.
