Me and Juliette...
Enjoying vacation...
Ernest Hemingway...
Talking dictation...

Different realities...
Different places...
A revolutionary expression...
Across their faces...

Our life is happy...
Not a worry at all...
As a country’s freedom...
Is about to fall...

Spending time together...
With the ones we love...
As dictators take over...
A mourning dove...

Our world is happy...
Not a care in the world...
Oblivious to the troubles...
Ready to be unfurled...

How can we save our children...
From the evils abound...
What challenges will they inherit...
With trouble all around...
