REALENGO (Montevideo, April 7th, 2011)

If they can turn the weapons
against children

if this is where
warfare ends

then there´s no war for peace
no make-believe

that there is hope still
for what we are

If what we do
and what we sell
on television,
cyberspace
can drive a man
to turn the weapons
against children

then we must face
the consequence
not blame the man alone
for the bloodshed

and know
we have been wrong
for a long age

Just sitting here
watching bombfalls on CNN

while we buy
the latest gadgets
phones that give head
cars that control
our destiny
crafted by children slaves
in some decrepit land
so far away
that work all day
without a break
and quiet wait
till the guns turn
