To Grey Filastine

I.O.U.
(tribute to earthlings born in the XXI century)

I should have told you
About human lies
I should have warned you
Against modern styles
On behalf of their faith in power
In the name of a new jeweller
Men kill
Children like you.

Techniques and truths, grammars, beliefs, territories,
Are mangled and sent to museums for ages!
Arrogant blue warriors
Impede Sànkt Niklaus' travels and shout:
"You shall not be bothered by mass horrors"
Non violent streams are dried out...

We should worry, little brothers,
For Man is stepping on the hill,
Eminent owner of the global zoo!

Forget my words Sista'
Forgive my silence Kid,
Irate were we and now livid
We're staring at the world's dementia...
