Explosions in the Sky

Explosions in the sky
Bullets and rockets whiz by
Time and again I,
Shudder and sigh

Those watching us just die
On TV like we’re flies
Caring not our lives
For we’re bugs on a pie

I sit and pray that I can survive
Telling my kids to trust in the divine
All while hoping that it’s not a lie
Hiding my every shudder and sigh
