Sitting on the rubble
Lamenting my struggle
Oh my heart aches
Sounds my stomach makes
Thoughts in my mind
Relief I do not find
Destruction all around me
Dead bodies I see
Where is my son
What have they done
I shout out my pain
No venue to explain
Does anybody care
Wondering as I stare
Up to the sky I gaze
Around me a blaze
I hear a voice very near
A child cries by my ear
I remove a heavy block
Upon a child my eyes lock
I pull her up into my arms
Agony hidden by her charms
She is alive
Hope does survive
My inner spirit I revive
Indestructible in overdrive
You can kill my physicality
But never my mentality
Know my struggle and see
My spirit will make me free
