The children’re running now,
The boy’ll never return
To this place.
There’re shell casings lying in the grass.
There’re traces of blood on the bark.
He was shooting people.
They’re closing their eyes forever,
Protecting their daughters right now.
There’s a war going on there.
Sides ready for this fight.
It will always be like.
