Bernhard Pappe
A war lamentation
Cannonballs flying in iron air
Shooting down all life.
Gunboats crossing steely rivers
Shooting down all towns at the banks.
War birds flying through burning winds
Making impacts in landscapes.
Where is the defense?
Where are the heroes?
Who will absorb all bombs?
Who will sink all gunboats?
Who will catch all war birds?
Who will avert the war?
Is there revenge?
No.
Is there retaliation?
No.
Is there hope?
Yes.
Is there faith?
Yes
Is there peace?
No.
Let’s fight for peace
In running wars again and again.
Against mad leadership in all countries.
