The Safe Zone

SARAJEVO the safe zone The missiles come down from surrounding green hills made for home, but now are turned into the hiding place for death that's always been a part of life as life they always knew, and when the sound of it comes to the mind all Sarajevo hears the boom it makes and wonders if there's any way to find some hope, a bit of peace, as morning breaks; the children close their eyes and make the run not caring where their feet are running to as shots ring out--some fired in just for fun not caring what a little fun can do. And all the world it watches in surprise if any falls, or any stops and cries.
