***
Fireworks,
Shouldn't sound like gunshots,
Or the staccato of an AK-47 being reloaded.
Hellfire wraps around you,
With the click of a grenade pin,
As a sparkler is lit.
Boom.
Remember though, darling,
The debris cannot reach you here,
You are safe at home,
Under the covers,
Away from harm.
For now.
