As I Slept
As I slept,
(and the bombs rained down)
My mind began to dream,
(as the fires spread)
Of warm beaches,
(while the sirens blare)
Of cozy cabins,
(then the lynching began)
Of of backyard barbecue
(without electricity)
Of Christmas Day,
(our buildings demolished)
Of our Wedding,
(overlooking the mass graves)
Only living in my dreams.
(i smile)
