Attitude to war

And if, suddenly, a huge war breaks out

Are we supposed to care a lot ?

Should we opt for a strong country?

Put our trust in a wild army?

Everything is cool : war is elsewhere

Since dead people are always there

We don’t hear the screams of suffering

Helping others comes to nothing

People here are only reluctant.

Can you explain why peace is so distant ?

In such a significant number

Of countries could we help better?

Because the right to be happy

Should be granted to everybody

Indifference must go unforgiven

To make our world a haven.
