Darkness and light
In a city
Houses collapse in a second
Bodies buried beneath.
A desperate desire to survive
Will there be a miracle?
A lot of passersby, passing by.
Underneath these ordinary faces
Hearts are beating
Life goes on.
In another city.
Bombs light up the night
Fireworks blossom across the sky.
Bursting in bright colours.
Welcoming the New Year
The passersby stop.
Wondering what the future holds.
Two cities
Two different stories.
