Wake me up from this terrible dream.
Of hate, and war, and uneven teams.
Of blood and tears, on the ground.
And a million screams that don't make a sound.
Of all the people that are weeping.
Then I realize...I'm not sleeping.

The author's comments:
Our world is so OBLIVIOUS to the horror that comes with war. I wrote this to "open the eyes" of the people who only believe that everything bad happens outside of their reality. I wrote this to wake them up.
