It’s her home
It’s where she lives
With her mother, her father, and her brother
It’s all she knows
She cries when her brother is afraid
It breaks her heart
To see his tear-stained face
Trembling
When the bombs explode nearby
She doesn’t understand
She doesn’t get to choose
Who’s on who’s side
Or which one she’s on
She doesn’t care
For politics
Or speeches
Given by old men in suits
Telling her where she and her brother
Can or cannot live
She cries when her brother is afraid
She holds him
When the bombs explode nearby
This is her home
It’s where she lives
With her father, her mother, and her brother
It’s all she knows
It’s all she knows
