Dreams
They taught us
Dreams are good
Dreams are safe
Dreams are clean
Dreams are gone
So now we wake up
Now we wake up
Now we wake up
Because we can no longer sleep
With all the stones hitting our walls
Stones are quite loud
Rockets are very loud
Missiles are too loud
Mothers’ screams - even louder
Fathers’ screams - even louder
Children’s screams –
Interrupted.
As they fall
We scream for them
We scream to complete their screams
We cry to complete their cries
Dreams
We teach them
Dreams are good
Dreams are safe
So go to sleep now
They go to sleep now
Bullets in the heads
Bullets in the flesh
They go to sleep now
And we cover them with blankets
Blankets we make from dirt
The dirt of our land
Our beautiful land
Covers them as they sleep under
Keeps them warm
Keeps them safe
Safer than ever
Covers the eyes so they don’t see the clouds
Clouds are grey
Clouds are black
Layers of clouds
Clouds too close to ground
Clouds of toxic
Clouds of smoke
Clouds that rise from broken homes
Flattened homes
Destroyed homes
Clouds that stroll through the streets
Streets burnt under fire
Streets trapped under ruins
Streets exhausted
Streets inviting the ghosts
For the ghosts to fill them
To paint on them a rainbow
A rainbow of Green and Yellow and Black and Red
A rainbow to rise above from the clouds
Clouds not beautiful
Colors unkind
Colors in pain
Colors vindictive
Colors – the only hope.
