heaven shall burn – if this is a man lyrics
Loading...
you who live safe
in your warm houses,
you who find, returning in the evening,
hot food and friendly faces:
consider if this is a man
who works in the mud
who does not know peace
who fights for a scr-p of bread
who dies because of a yes or a no.
consider if this is a woman,
without hair and without name
with no more strength to remember,
her eyes empty and her womb cold
like a frog in winter.
meditate that this came about:
i commend these words to you.
carve them in your hearts
at home, in the street,
going to bed, rising;
repeat them to your children,
or may your house fall apart,
may illness impede you,
may your children turn their faces from you.
