The clothes on their back
Emphasize their lack
And they can't go back
Stuck in some basement
In stack abasement
Men, women n' kids in
A den no bare necessities
In a room crowded out
War rages outside
Children hunker down
Uncertainty wracks each mind
No toys
To lighten the mood
No choice
But stay in the room
No noise
To get in the groove
Boredom
Contends with gloom
Bombs done
Increased the ruin
No fade to happy days
Wish that was the case
In a country
Where kids can't play
And run wild and free.
