Hapless willingness to flee,
we are the popular bait

The ones who've rarely seen tranquil,

the ones who try to fit in
the ones who don't get to choose
the millions of silent masses,
speaking through the news

We are the growing damage
from the negligence and strife
as the eerie clock ticks away
the value of a human life

We are the civilians.
