Unbelievable


from the ABC set What Jennifer Wrote Next (pre-2004)

Unbelievable

How can one day
Change the world so much
Into a place that
No longer feels safe?

How can one day cause so much pain?

Unbelievable -
Can I trust my eyes,
What they tell me I see
On the television screen?

Lips keep repeating -
It runs through my brain -
'It must be...it must be a dream'.

Life
Has become a scene
Stolen from a movie -
This can't be real -
Too big a tragedy
To comprehend,

And on the news,
People in a far-off country
Celebrating
The deaths of our American friends...

Unbelievable.
