Their lives blazing,
His children heaving,
a shot fired, a bullet missed
Bid goodbye & kissed
BREAKING the 9 pm show
paralyzed paradise
dried fruits of their labor falling
blow by blow by blow.
Crutches now broken
night, lie awoken

as fear disappears
flashes & mics reappear,
listening yet deaf.
calling it a theft
of THEIR land, their soil,
saffron, walnuts, forlorn toil.
Listening yet deaf,
His children, they’re heaving
their lives blazing,
as one fights for breath,
of all bereft.
