No, no, no
please let it be
just a dream
a smokescreen
to sunset serene
please let me wake
in mother’s arms
wide-eyed
safe from harm
care free
& sure-fire
twinkle in eye
putting out pyres
please not
let it be real
it’s surreal
how I feel
please let this be
a movie
on my HD
TV screen
not this 3-D
violent scene
so concrete
here before me
please let it be
just a movie
cannot unsee
what I have seen
