-- revolution is war
just this and nothing more
sometimes war is itself
and not something else
but revolutionary violence
is as a quiet silence;
to wish for war is commonly
no great sign of dishonesty
loving justice is plain enough
it's elementary stuff---
but we should never thus lie
about what it must imply;
the revolutions happen here
where for war we must prepare
it's a coup of the military
not found in your library
it will always increase
the military police;
I fear for you, countryman
a revolution's child can
live in lies about that thing
res novae can only bring
not the peace they now say
despite all won the day;
Ah, I am about to choke
Children do not get the joke
Do they? And a child's child
Are you enow -- how wild
Is the man they call amok
Who on our lies is stuck?
I kid - the lies are not mine
To share in blame is fine
I hold war, as I have seen
The world's only hygiene
As revolution is but war
Just this, and nothing more.
