Analysis of Lesson Not Learned
Ahmed complains he's unfairly treated
Yitzhak says, you get what you deserve
John is too strong to be intimidated
But Ahmed, Yitzhak and John fall dead.
Ahmed, Yitzhak and John look at each other,
And looked no further than their bathroom mirror
Each looked at himself, his face, arm and chest
Forgetting the question that was asked in the past:
"Where have we gone? What have we done?"
