And what next?
Clubs and stones.
Fists and bones.
Envy, jealousy or chow.
Survival is essential – fights are allowed.
Only the strong and sound will survive.
Arrows and bow.
Catapults throw.
Property and land are claimed.
Of the urge for power they're not ashamed.
Just the plague is worse.
Sabers and swords.
No need for words.
Queens, kings and noblemen fight.
Allegedly for unimpeachable birthright.
The decadents let fight to prevail.
Black powder guns.
Cannon balls stun.
Collateral damage comes on the agenda
For settlement, city, fort and hacienda.
Honor and reason won't help to survive.
Pistols and colts
Presenting no halt.
Killing without goal, without sense.
Progress at innocent peoples' expense.
The unscrupulous will jut out.
Planes with bombs.
Soldiers in throngs.
Cities and populations wiped out.
No-one really knows, what it is about.
In an air-raid shelter one might survive.
Atomic war.
No time for scars.
Burning away civilizations.
Genocide without prospects for compensation.
No-one may live to tell the tale.
Iron clubs,
Contaminated stones,
Feeble fists,
Human bones,
Essential to survive the aftermath.
Disfigured creatures won't hesitate to swat.
Only the lucky will die.
