The kids are just fine
On this Wednesday eve
Our lives intertwine
Until one takes leave

On this Wednesday eve
We huddle in the waste
Until one takes leave
From this bombed-out place

They’re readied for school
Packed up for the day
Ballet class in tule
Then we hurry away

Packed up for the day
The evacuations begin
Then we hurry away
From the siren’s din

Distraught by expectations
Life’s daily demands
Guiding child’s aspirations
Mold their lives in our hands

Life’s daily demands
From missiles, we flee
Mold lives in our hands 
As we dodge the debris

We discuss the whole day
Watch the news, sip our wine
In lands far away
We witness war’s crimes

Huddled in lost places
We assess the whole day
Do they hear us, or see us, or know us 
In lands far away?

Long-suffering shattered the window’s streaked pane
Tongue snapped like rubber band stretched beyond hell
Deep shards of blood pressure, jagged terrain
Fingernails screeching down slate boarded cell 

Tongue snapped like rubber band stretched beyond hell
Cat-o’-nine-tails lashing words into gashes
Fingernails screeching down slate boarded cell
Sunday school lessons reduced to ashes 

Cat-o’-nine-tails lashing words into gashes
Razor sharp chaos impervious to shame
Sunday school lessons reduced to ashes
Virtue out shadowed by rage's bright flame 

Razor sharp chaos impervious to shame
Deep shards of blood pressure, jagged terrain
Virtue out shadowed by rage's bright flame
Long-suffering shattered the window’s streaked pane
