once again a massacre, again on my feet
I am alive since there is a hope.
I have trouble
like being alive
since auschwitz
the world war I
changed nothing
the world war II
and even vietnam
my pains are constantly growing
my pains are constantly growing
I was hitler, I buried the jews
I killed the natives in Vietnam
and the suckling babies in gaza
I became americanized
I killed all the time, I can kill again
I am a human being on my feet, freedom
ballad seems to be my enlightenment
I am on my feet since there is a hope
I compose poetry I am a barbarian poetess
I draw the pictures of the daisies
I have my rules, my constitutions
I am the world longing for peace
yet arranging everything according to war
I am expecting peace
I am expecting peace.
