The World Turns

Explosions have not been heard from the bomb
they reported everywhere yesterday.
Words on paper become things thrown away,
please continue on your day and stay calm.

The world's an alien place not like home
with strange languages and exotic food.
How can anything different be good?
There must be a limit to who’s welcome.

Power creates the might to be a fool.
Who makes right has the right everywhere.
I’m blind but I can still see it from here.
My guess: this is business as usual.

Adults decide, we are the girls and boys,
disaster surrounding us just makes noise.
