We set foot again on same rake,
\nWe hear the clash of the same bloody swords,
\nMaybe they’ve become more acute,
\nAnd we are now more cynical!
\nWe have computers and mobile phones,
\nBut we don’t care about the law!
\nWe are all connected by the Internet,
\nBut everyone lives alone in virtual space!
\nWe don’t care about tomorrow,
\nWe are victims of selfishness.
\nWe threaten someone now
\nNot with a gun but with a nuclear bomb!
\nWe have forgotten about our past,
\nThis handwriting is well familiar!
\nWe set foot again on same rake,
\nWe hear the clash of same bloody swords…<\/p>\n
