Those who stayed...

If I were an Iraqi

I would not always feel safe in my own home,
I couldn’t walk the streets freely,
I would be a prisoner.

Jumping at any loud noise for fear of
disappearing like dust in a light breeze,
the bombs are unpredictable.

Always wondering why things are this way,
Never hearing the truth from the government,
Not able to ask for it.
