Hesitation in war

Hartogh Brink 2003 (Potchefstroom)

Ballade
Your hesitation
Can cause lack of destination

Where rivers run dry
And deserts start to form
There you will find
The laughter of war

Such a despiration
Without compensation
With merely any tought
People who are bought
And sold to inadequate measure
You will find no pleasure

In war
