For those who are unable
To defend their right of happiness,
It might be a consolation to think
That Hitler
And the Jews who were robbed
Of their dignity,
And starved and gassed to death,
Or burned alive;
Genghis Khan
And the people of Nishabour,
Who were slaughtered and mutilated
One by one to the last,
And left to rot in the ruins of their town,
They soon forgot
Who they were
And what they did in the past;
They soon became true friends
In the bosom of the Mother Earth.
And yet Life itself would cry
That Death can never be a consolation!
