Each day I awake to the sounds of a violent warzone
Every breath a gift bestowed, of a battle not my own
Living life in endless peril is a weight that I must bear
Fearing death with each next step seeing how the world won't care
Tread lightly, one mistake could be your last
Speak softly, they won't hear your whimpered gasp
Move swiftly, out of danger with your life
Stay low, take caution
Born with one foot in the grave
Live in terror every day
Born without a chance to be
Die, a life ends needlessly
A blip of info on a screen, just a ticker on a feed
Tuning in and tuning out, ad space for a tragedy
Out of sight and out of mind, a life of privilege that we live
While others die before their time, given all they had to give
