War crimes in Ethiopia. But wait a second!

War itself is a crime! Oh that I may just live

Long enough to outgrow this outrage!

I would be so very grateful.

I will consign my rage to a ritual fire,

Bury its ashes deep in the ground.

Just let me live beyond my urge to scream

To the earth and sky!

But that would still leave my seething disgust

For the status quo of our Orwellian nightmare,

That our leaders defend so righteously,

Turning those gothic millstones that grind away my soul.
