| Shame never wakes the imperial state Where lawlessness slumbers on forested trails, Where cravenly deeds are blacked from thine eyes To placate the hunger of fattening jails. Why jettison bombs 'cross indifferent seas To answer the questions we scarce understand? Flee from the dark! I demand that you flee! For the unfeeling heart only feels with thine hands. War and Peace dance with rhapsodic order While countrymen perish for vacuous words The beggar is poor but the patriot’s poorer For his salutations are focused inward. O’ descendants of dust in sheer poverty Your pleas to the stars are traveling still Will they scatter and fade in ignominy To make mockery of your undying will? War and Peace dance with rhapsodic order Side-stepping the truth with distinguished grace While a drunken Greek swears in desolate foras Indignantly posed ‘gainst the crimes of the state. |
