When Sirens Scream Again

The sirens screamed

In old Warsaw it seems

We all went outside

To see the Blitzkrieg

In the cloudless night sky

We blessed ourselves

With signs of the cross

But the bombing did not stop

Raining bombs in the dark

We forgot those who remained

Died those nights in the dark

During the city leveling

In three days of constant

Bombing in the dark

During daylight until only

Dust made of bones

Filled the air after

All the fires smoldering

Filled the streets with dust

Burned broken body parts

Cracked in half building bricks

Piled high like the tower of Babel

While outsiders watched

The ghosts stand outside

Every night not passing on

Just looking for their lost

Loved ones and their

Missing selves all dead

No cellars to take shelter

Cellars became oven tombs

No one left alive all died

No remains left to bury

Ashes spread out in the streets

Enslaved shot in head

Even the echos of their screams

No longer remain as memories

Mouthed regrets and threats

Stood by and watched idly by

When the sirens cried

And cried and cried

The ghosts wandered

In the streets of Warsaw

Now the ghosts of Kyiv

Wander with them

As madmen bomb

Schools all over again

Sirens blare everywhere

Everywhere sirens blare

No one hears their

Screams anymore anywhere

For they're All Dead

Broken Inside outside

Shattered window glass again

As sirens scream muting

Echos die along with them

The ghosts have returned

Haunting every unheard

Dead word and silent scream

Never heard never echoed

As the sirens scream and scream

Will the sirens ever stop

I think not I think not
