Peace

Once I had a dream

A nightmare to scream, 

A race to terrace 

To witness the crackers ablaze. 

I knew I was still at home

But it was showering from the Iron Dome. 

Every missile I tried to dodge

An unknown life disparaged, 

And now as they plunged down from planes, 

I pray to shooting stars on gaze

To escape a nightmare than to brace.
