Today the sirens will call
not as the alarm
of missiles as they fall
the sirens will sing
a pierced silence
echoing nightmares of hiding
blaring, roaring, howling on the desolate wind
the country stops at the warning bells of our destruction
bringing memories of the past
Solemn, silent the people stand
mourning for those
dashed in the rubble of their labor
the sirens remind us of cold bitter memories
starvation, gunshots and impossible darkness
all the pages of our history
today many will reflect
on the evil of inaction
and the lives it wrecked
today the sirens wailed
to remind us all of a time when the world stood still
and humanity failed.
