Ole Bessie

Oblivious she lay
  on her bed in soft hay
Ole Bessie snores the whole night away

While I twist and turn
  as my heart and pulse churn
at explosions that rock my stairway

Perchance I awake
before next the ground shake
  Let me please be a cow ~ I do pray

Well, Were I a cow, I too could be oblivious to the bombs and missiles dropping all around me...
