Are You Humans
Do we differ from animals who don't talk though they speak too?
You wreck men, pour them onto roads, yet give them foods! Who are you?
Is that humanitarian aid? Why do you empty good words?
Are they beggars needing your help whom you so shamelessly screw?
You're all the same, Eastern, Western, Communists, Imperialists,
You all lining up hungrily in your insatiable queue!
Who has ever granted you brutes the false right to play with men,
To deprive them of their short lives in war, with sanction, or coup?
You are endowed by men themselves with your savage worldly power
To batter them in sheer dismay, to make them moan, weep, and rue.
They elect clowns, dealers, or spies, or mere fraudulent lawyers
And politicians since they are their own mirrors. It's quite true!
They would need God-fearing scholars to rule their lands if they knew.
Bloodshed goes on with these rulers who worldly playthings pursue.

Why to untie knots with our teeth when they're lossened with our hands?
If we solved problems just through talks, would we devestate our lands?
