New World

I see buildings flaming,
Red, Orange, Yellow.
Smoke rising.
People looking.
And I ask myself,
What in the world?

I see people running,
White, Black, Yellow.
Confusion reigns.
No one seeing.
And I ask myself,
What in the world?

I see lights flashing,
Red, Blue, Yellow.
Fire and Police.
Rushing. Helping.
And I ask myself,
What in the world?

I see buildings falling,
Gray, Red, Silver.
Dust and steel.
People dying.
And I ask myself,
What in the world?

I see something waving,
Red, White, Blue.
Sad and lonely.
Justice coming.
And I tell myself,
It’s a brand new world.
