I turn my head from side to side and stay silent.
Too many attackers for me to surrender.
I'd never make it out alive.
How do I escape?
I am not ready to face them today.

People work hard at not caring.
Businesses bleed innocent persons' blood.
One man profits, two million suffer.
And where do I find myself?
Working for the devil.
Not today.
Maybe tomorrow.

Will it last long?
Or,is it temporary?
No one truly understands me,
