Dragon’s Teeth

A headless man was running
down the street
He was carrying his head
in his hands
A woman ran after him
She had his heart
in her hands
The bombs kept falling
sowing hate
And they kept running
down the streets
Not the same two people
but thousands of others & brothers
All running
from the bombs that kept falling
sowing pure hate

For every bomb that dropped
up sprang a thousand Bin Ladens
A thousand new terrorists

Like dragon's teeth sown
From which soldiers sprang up
Each waving a different flag

As the smart bombs sowing hate
Kept falling and falling and falling
