A country with all its glorious past
turns to the present and soon
will the present be a future
of death received and taken
split, divided the world stands still
holding its breath for too long
helps death along in its spread
of past present and future
only to mourn briefly
after all we are all expendable
after all we are nobodies
after all when one speck is born
sure enough the same dies
nothing is eternal - all change
from genes galore to genes" death
so is the past, present and future
