No right in a bomb
for all victims of aggression

and if we can say of ourselves
when history calls to ask
I stood up, I stood against
them and I said STOP! –
for these are our brothers
these are our sisters
their children are our children
our children are their children
we will have done right

If we can say to the aggressors
there is no rationale in a bullet
there is no right in a bomb
you can only own the land
you stand on and your feet
are the same size as mine,
the same size as hers, and when we
take even one step that land is no longer yours,
or hers, or mine - only this, then this, then that –
we will have done right

Be able to say of yourself
when history calls to ask
I stood up, I stood against
them and I said STOP!
for these are my brothers
these are my sisters
their children are my children
my children are their children –
that is the right I did.
