When Shall We Weep?
When shall we weep for the end of the world?
When shall we weep for the end of the world?
When the crusades are rising around us?
When destruction has finally found us?
When we wake everyday to a litany of harms?
When the poets and dreamers have taken up arms?
When flesh has been desecrated on broken ties?
When children draw bombs falling from the skies?
When we can no longer remember what we unlearnt?
When history is not just forgotten, but burnt?
When nation turns upon nation?
When we turn our back on creation?
When the war horn has silenced the bard?
When the lord Shiva dances in our yard?
When stars no longer twinkle
When the planet withers and wrinkles
When shall we cry? And who shall we cry for?
When we’re all gone?
