AT THE CROSSROAD
/Two millennia ago the world had more love and less weapons, now the world has more weapons and less love/
At the crossroad
Of the millennium
I can write
I have no problems with myself
My body is OK
So is my soul.
My problem is with the modern world
With it’s weapons of multiple choice
Stupid and smart bombs
To kill smartly
Or to kill stupidly
With a good will
Or with a bad will
But very accurately
As seen on T.V.
Our modern world has bombs
For enemies and for friends
For those we would attack
And those we would defend
Bombs made to measure
To destroy, kill or mutilate.
Warlords are my nightmare
I love children,
And they love bombs
The fear child increase
And I fear bombs
A child is a nuisance
It’s a burden, they say
It needs food to eat,
Water to drink, ……
And a space to run and play.
The Mother-earth has shrunk
For more children
It has no space.
Bombs are docile creatures
Bombs can easily be stored
In oceans and deserts
In basements and caves
Bombs don’t bother
Bombs don’t disturb
Bombs’re good for security
They bear the good hope
How nice to have bombs all around! They say
They annihilate enemies
Bombs help dispatch peoples
Into wombs of the earth
Bombs provide us more space
To play soccer, baseball and golf.
This is my problem at the millennium- crossroad
But my problem could become yours too
If you still have a little glow
In your heart or mind
From the great love to mankind
That the world had
Two millennia ago
When the Great Guide was born.
