They wake up alarmed; we wake up to alarms.
They realise they’re still alive; we enjoy our lives.
They search for food; our fridges are stocked.
They queue up for water; we refresh in showers.
They’re grateful to get dry bread; we have an abundance.
They starve; we feast.
They’re scared; we live carefree.
They strive to survive; we strive to prosper.
They've nowhere to go; we have the entire world.
Their belongings are just what they wear; ours are unending.
They fear for their children's lives; we plan for our children’s lifetime.
They sleep in the open; we relish the comfort of our homes.
They shiver; we have warmth.
Their nights are sleepless; we sleep throughout.
They live in the ruins and dust; we can't stand the dust in our homes.
They've lost hope; our dreams are boundless.
They see only grey and red; we enjoy the beauty of rainbows.
They count their dead; do we count our blessings?
We bury our dead; UNDER RUBBLE, MANY OF THEM GET BURIED ALIVE!
