"Is it real?"
The scenes flash, the bombs crash.
Lives lost, sadness outpouring.
Power imbalance, egos exploding.
Is it real?
Another war, looming no more.
Sounds lifted from a movie score.
Where did it begin, where does it end?
The pain and anger just will not bend.
Is it real?
First world problems, second-class citizens.
Souls lifted up as first class passengers.
Sacrifices given without asking.
The ending must be near.
Yes. Surely. No.
Is it real? Is it real?
