The sky is burning
A fire lite by uninvited guests
Uninvited guests riding noisy machines
Birds, whose lives are under siege
The sky is burning in an orange haze
A suicide bomber has escaped his maze
Slipping past distracted eyes
He's gone to fulfill what he's been told, lies
The sky is burning and I don't know why
As fighters streak across the sky
To attack a vicious foe
But what do they really know?
The sky has cleared but what remains
Wanderers in the street are game
As a house turns to black
We know we won't be going back
An Eagle's flying in the sky
It's been put there because of a lie
I catch one of its tears in my hand
It's only trying to defend its land
Charred corpses litter the ground
Moving only by the sound
Of a sonic boom of a jet
flown by a soon to be vet
Threats of death at every turn
The sun's now up and it's starting to burn
Hope of a bright future that lay ahead
Now I'm afraid will soon be dead
Broken windows, roads, and sidewalks
Make this war too real
But I know someone, somewhere is sitting comfortably behind the wheel
Sending brainwashed youth to do the deed
A leader watching his TV laying in his bed
wondering what it would be like
To have his kin there instead
The sun is up now past noon
Blazing hot, and its only June
Looking for non-existent shade
Lack of water is starting to fade
The electricity and water are now back on
But who knows for how long
As explosions are going on outside
All I want to do is hide
The Eagle's crashed, I don't know where
But dusk is rapidly approaching out there
The beast that sleeps during
The day, comes out at night to play
A smart person would stay away
But as the moon starts to rise
A scream pierces the night
Silencing the former eagle of slight
The Israeli Eagle
