If This Is A Man - Heaven Shall Burn

You who live safe

In your warm house

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 scrap 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

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

You who live safe

In your warm house

You who find returning in the evening
