They say
It's ceasefire now
You don't need to panic
Or be terribly afraid anymore
Don't have to hold your breath
And run for your life
From flattened North
To down South
Or to the Mediterranean shore
Don't have to hide from drones
To reach illusive "Safe Zones."
Don't have to rush
To the crowded corridors
Of destroyed hospitals
To look for shelter
Few drops of pure water
Or to bite on a dried, stale bread
They say
It's ceasefire now
Your fatigued legs
That walked endlessly
For four hundred days
Can finally rest now
In this eerie, quiet place
You may even dare to dream
While your numb, broken heart
Wants to let out
Suppressed, endless scream
Then let it be...
Let all of you step out
From the shameless rubels
Of bricks and concrete
Let the dead bodies pile up
Desolate, barren streets!
So come out
Just slowly and gently
No one will notice you
We've forgotten all so conveniently
Advertisement
They say
It's peaceful now
But the cynic in me
Serene, tranquil days
It quite doesn't see
A life that grew in
Narrow, open prison
A life humiliated
Day and night, in all seasons
A life crippled by
Snipers and drones...
What ceasefire means to her
When she can't have
A lasting, free "Safe Zone!"
