I married a girl but in fact she was an octopus
Between a hundred leaps and skips she caught hold of a bus
She thrashed the first man she found
Squeezed the second on the ground
And began the head count with the integral calculus....

Where are the Dinosaurs gone?,

Tracing beyond the Amazon forests,

Plants and lives loaded,

To the Noah's ship in safe,

On a head count, the tribes,

Passed the Earth in peace,in dearth and death,

Roll over the sky labs into the woods,

To save the dying noses and not the Di nos aurs!...

To you I'm a number 
A census head count 
A baseline, statistic 
Not special 
Tantamount

Numbering the corpses left behind
On your trail of death
Nameless, faceless carrions
Anonymity meaning endless justification
Over the destruction of a helpless enemy 
Without a sword, a dimmer world
Each time a beautiful soul is sacrificed in vain...
