Crocodile's Tear



Are they human beings? No, they are not, they are  human animal !
Their tears are simply normal water
only to be overlooked
Their cries are  nonsense noises and
let these be buried in the smoky air.
counting dead bodies is a fine idea
when we cannot measure the depth of sorrow
and hold back the reign of terror.
here, lie the blooming cacti, scattered bones and fleshes
here are the searching souls
Now, who would define peace?
and who would evaluate humanity?
the earth is silent.
let us shed crocodile tears,
let us award lip services
and let the mighty monsters run the  casual havoc.
