do ya mean
will we be killed?
will our brothers be exploded?

everyday it happens
everywhere in the world

do ya mean
will there be an earthquake
or flood
or fire

will people shriek looking for their families
in rows of names?

do ya mean
will life go on
as horrible or as huge as ever?

i hope so
i don’t wanna die
