It's been so long since the last time I was here! And though I guess that nobody's been missing me here, I come back... just to say a few rhymed words about the problem which has been worrying me (and probably, not only me), but which no one is going to solve. Well, does anybody care?..



****
Who's aware of games they play?
Everyone! But who’s to say?
Who will stop them? Please, don't wait!
Save us until it's too late!

Money... Huge, enormous sums,
Given to destroy the arms –
That's the reason they must lie,
That's the reason we must die!
Morn to evening, working week,
Hurrying up, but don't know where,
We can't change it, we’re too weak,
Drifting... What waits for us there?
Tide will carry us to nowhere...

Damned by cruel destiny,
Town that was just meant to be
Sacrificed to feed their greed,
To become a cemetery...

Does it matter who's to blame?
He won't be punished, anyway
For thousands of forgotten names,
For lives not lived which burnt in flame,
For broken hopes and dreams erased...

It has always been this way:
They rule, they slay, but never pay.
There is no justice; But one day
Their sins and crimes will all unfold...
Let's wait and hope for better world!
