Promises, promises, promises
And into life will step, from day to day
The stillness of terror’s peace
There is no Justice he said
Discarded by wayward thought
His simple ways lost to war
Now Satire is his only spear
Again foisted upon his own Petard
Peace, there he heard it again, Peace
as fragment flies true
another Jew dies to Peace
