I watch rockets burn
Across a desert sky
As a murder of crows
Cries upon the wind
And men in masks
Execute their enemies
As a pair of dogs
Howl as they pass
And children cling
To their parents corpses
As a kitten calls
For its mother to come
And wonder if man
Is the mirror of nature
Or if it’s really
The other way around
