Mommy always told me
"Look under your bed for monsters"
But Mommy is silly
The monsters are the ones outside
Shooting the guns I've only read about
Facing bombs I've only heard outside my bedroom window
Here
On the third floor of what some would call
An apartment complex
I called it my tower
Where I could watch over my kingdom
Even as it went up in flames
When the red spilled on the streets
I could see the stain
The next day
When I used to go to school
Mommy says it isn't safe anymore
To go out there
But Mommy is silly
