POINTLESS QUESTIONS
We're captive birds, dear brother, that's it, that's all.
Black sun of melancholy shines like a shrapnel hole,
Explosions are the new normal.
Buried beneath the rubble, she wanted to hear everything.
Homeland, I am not your mother, waiting for a country to download.
Explosions are the new normal!
Blind feet. No looking back, no looking back, it sends ripples through me.
He did not come with the other prisoners of war, any other pointless questions?
Explosions are the new normal.
