People Do This For Fun

People do this for fun.

The same way they dress up as the dead and glorify devils.

People do this for fun.

Explosives rebranded as entertainment for the children.

It is suppressing fire. They are rifles. They are bombs.

It is the sound of warfare. They are grenades. They are mines.

It is the sound of a war fair.

They crack open the night, blistering the sky as they burn.

People do this for fun.

In Gaza they run,

they hide,

they do nothing because there is nothing to do.

In Aleppo they run,

they hide,

they do nothing because there is nothing to do.

People do this for fun.
