I stand there 

Ready

For all the wars 

I know I won't win

You stand there

Ready

Watching them load

Their guns, for the kill

I hide in shelters

Hoping my refusual 

To show myelf 

Will make them leave

You stand outside 

Watching as I stumble

Trying to keep myself 

Together 

I start to beg 

Beging the man

To give me bread

Knowing I won't last 

Much longer

You watch

As I walk home

Head down 

Shamefull steps

I stare 

At the ceiling

I hope doesn't cave in

You sneak 

Leaving a basket of bread

Near my door

Making no sound

I go outside 

Ready 

For all the pain

To hit me at once

You smile

Standing in front of me 

Shielding me from 

Painful bullets

I smile 

Realizing

Superman came 

Afterall.
