1.
In a world whose one attainment

is a polarised estrangement,

the axeman has his blade above our necks.

So it’s time for contemplating

on the strain of all this waiting,

which is driving our psychologies to wreck.

And it’s time to seek solutions

that will rid us from confusion,

and the hopes for a posterity protect.

2.
We have nations, we have rulers,

and if politics were cooler,

it’s a system that could feasibly endure.

But the battlefields get bigger,

while the fingers on the trigger

will be multiplied each decade by the score.

They may perpetrate the scandal

of extinguishing the candle

of this life in its entirety by war.

3.
When the nations that are feeble

voice the grievances of people,

then humanity at large feels no distress.

But when nations that are mighty

raise their voices only slightly,

then humanity awaits with bated breath.

And we’re all to be devoured

in their politics of power,

with humanity enamoured by its death.

If we can’t attain world-government,

in the end they’ll press the button,

which will instigate the holocaust,

and we’ll all be dead as mutton.

4.
When a bunch of politicians

claim the right to make decisions

which endanger other peoples than their own,

then the innocent shall muster,

having strength within the cluster,

to demand a wider tasting of the bone.

We must pulverise, and fully,

all this privilege of bullies

by dismantling these powers they have grown.

5.
We must force a fragmentation

on to each enormous nation

so that all of us be similar in size:

an identity resurging

for the regions thus emerging

from the days of old when statehood was devised.

And if each be represented

in a voice that’s independent,

an assembly made for equals is the prize.

6.
If the nations won’t surrender

all their sovereignty and splendour

into hands that could deliver them from strife,

then the world is but a bubble

that is causing too much trouble,

and deserving to be punctured by a knife.

So just listen to this chorus

where the choice is set before us,

and learn from it the lesson that gives life.

If we can’t attain world-government,

in the end they’ll press the button,

which will instigate the holocaust,

and we’ll all be dead as mutton.
