2 Nightmare

Sirens screaming in the wind

create chaotic dreams

that terminate our sense of peace

and whisper for our end.

We wonder how this reality exists

with love and hate and life and death

that we never stop to see the monster behind us

preparing to strike at the core of its problems

twenty dead and fifteen wounded

made everyone afraid

the smell of sulfur and blood around

makes all flee but not me.

I sat there helpless unable to move

holding my lifeless lover crying in pain

til I saw the barrel one last time

and awoke from my nightmare

covered in sweat and tears.
