Responsibility

I’m old, so don’t rely on me Don't count on me if something happens I care not to spill my tea I’m useless with all kinds of weapons If human race would be incentive To imitate me, there won’t be No wars, offensive or defensive No other conflicts, so I’d be Your God of Peace, my dear nations Put down your fingers off my face You know the answers to your questions So leave me out at my place. Deduce your generalizations From bad and worse, who come to kill They hold no moral obligations I’m not the one to pay their bill.
