A boat

Sitting empty

Is bombed and then explodes

An invitation for a fight

With who?

A boy

With wide awed eyes

Watches a boat explode

Not realizing just how bad

It is

A mom

Who’s horrified

Watches a boat explode

Worried about all of the kids

A war?

A man

From the navy

Watches a boat explode

And his stomach goes down with it

Oh no
