"Where else...?"
Smiles in the stream of earth;
Now the blood overflowing in grass.
Sounds of ceremonial drums;
Race of stray bullets.
Dazzling childs and women
Who cries all days
For the men in town with spears
To take a look into the eyes of halberds.
But neither men nor royals
Holding swords and false promises
Listen the sounds of Porsches.
"Oh where else
Could our sounds
Must take"
The cries of a missing mother
Who lost her seed
In a barren farm, speak.
