ANTHEM.

John Rohner

World War Four is an euthenasia.
Poor fields, together, make a nation.
Driven by primortal passion,
It will be be a quick decision,
has to be a quick incision.
as the peasants sing:
Do-dah, Do-dah, HA!

Politics vs.the individual
he pumps, he pushes
he stops, he pops
he doesn't make the grade
allways running, allways chasing
shadows of a different sun
while the bomber sings:
Do-dah, Do-dah, HA!

Everyone tries to reach for it
knowing the price is too high
The presence of Death is dealt in tune with nothing
Horse and tractor, the wheels in motion
a shot in the dark, below the belt
still the fighter's fight
Do-die, Do-die, ha.
