I’m sad and depressed,
I wonder if this war will stop,
I hear bombs bursting,
I see kids crying,
I want the war to stop,
I’m sad and depressed.
I pretend I’m a firefighter,
I feel heat from the fire on my face,
I touch the warm ash on the ground,
I worry if Afghanistan is going to bomb us again,
I’m sad and depressed.
I understand why everyone is sad,
I say the war will end soon,
I dream this never happened,
I try to understand why this happened,
I’m sad and depressed.
