More than any animal I see.
So I stay away,
Every single day
In his giant jaws my flesh I see.

The drone of bombers 
In the night sky 
A wail of sirens 
From the terrified city
Where youth and innocence die.

I cannot scream
I am paralyzed
stuck in place
my arms and legs are pinned

I try again to scream

ravish every pretty flower

where mothers forsake their young
terrified of being stung.
