Fifteen Seconds

447003

Once you hear sirens, you have fifteen seconds to seek shelter.
Will the rocket land in the fields?
Will the rocket land in a school?
Will the rocket land in the streets?
Will the rocket land on you?
The shelter is across the street, you can get there quickly, but a child is standing there on the sidewalk, crying.
Run for the shelter now? Or cover the child with your body and close your eyes?
We watch the images on the television, and so many of us judge.
What would YOU do to protect that child from the deadly rain?

One thought on “Fifteen Seconds”

  1. I’m trying to think of a sufficiently deep comment to make. In the wake of the recent mid east ‘activity’ it is especially sobering.
    Well done.
