Appeal to the American People

Appeal to the American People
(and to all those to whom it may concern)


Dear brothers and sisters
Why do you send
your children to war?
The dirtiest, most senseless and sadest job
man can be heading for.

Do you really want
to see their corpses and bones
being spread pale and dry
in the Iraqi desert
calling you guilty
and asking
eternally: Why???

Don’t you love them
as we do?
Don’t you see
what they’ll do?
They will kill and die!

They will become murderers
with their minds going mad.
And soon, when this war is over
you will have lost them
be it injured
or crazy
or simply dead.

So, why don’t you call them
to break with that dirty game?
It’s time still to save them
saying: No!
Not in our name!
