Nobel Prize |
| Are you a nightmare or an oracle |
| Unavoidable? |
| Are you the future, or a plausible |
| Worst-case scenario? |
| You’ve visited in my sleep |
| Every night this week |
| Curled yourself in my lap |
| And smiled while you spoke: |
| «Once we’ve poisoned all the water |
| Once we’ve blackened out the air |
| We’ll finish murdering each other |
| Fair is fair» |
| I tried to talk you down: |
| «There's a better half you’re not looking at |
| A greater empathy — «You shrugged me off |
| Talked over me: |
| «You & your simple life |
| Come at a complex price |
| And they’re busting through the gates |
| To steal it for themselves — |
| I say we razorblade the borders |
| Or even take the fight to them |
| Let’s go slaughtering the natives |
| Again |
| Or we can fire up the program |
| Let the drones do all the dirt |
| Might even win a Nobel Peace Prize |
| Well-deserved» |
| It’s every bit as ugly |
| Every bit as brutal |
| Every bit as dark as it’s light |
| Paralyzed, wondering why |
| While she’s dead asleep |
| I’m starving for protection |
| Pulled in all directions |
| Never certain which is the lie: |
| The elegance of being alive |
| Or the agony |
