There will be no war
I insist upon it
No heroes will fall
with their armor clattering
No Homeric quatrains
will be written to justify their existence
There will be no need for blind poets
nor for the epic Muses to have borne them
(only those with eyes wide open
who are ready to contume those warriors)
Yes, we will dispense with loyalist music
and especially that kind of poetry
if there will only be peace
and the war is avoided.
