Disbelief

We stare in disbelief
At life that slips away
Who knew just a breath
All that it takes to be alive

We stare in disbelief
At all the lives
Washed ashore
Becoming nation's memories

We close our eyes in disbelief
When we cannot take it anymore
Confined in our safe homes
We turn into living ghosts

We stare in disbelief
As humanity fades away
We who love wars and winners
Are the tired vanquished lot

We stare in disbelief
As leaders trade away our lives
And our deaths
To build their empire of glory
