A man fires a gun—for a cause
A missile explodes—for a bigger cause
for every cause there is a bomb
for every bomb there is a cause
My cause is different from your’s
your’s different from mine
so I kill you and
you’d rather drink my blood than your wine
Scruples vanish
races exterminate. Conflicts rage
borders vanish and reappear
countries attack. men age
But mother Earth quenches her thirst
with blood as much as water
and the soil retains its fertility
with human bodies as manure
so go. Defend your cause!
kill they neighbour
mine is one cause
your’s another
