Violets in Violence

  For war children

 World all over in war, mourning.

 World all over in evil, shame.

 Every corner, there’s a sore.

 Children without bodies.

 Violets dying in fields

 Of violence

 In Arabic Springs.

 Earth, full of chagrin.

 This is habitude of war.

 برای کودکان جنگ

 جهان سراسر جنگ، سوگوار

 همه جا شرّ و شرم

 در هر گوشه زخم

 کودکان بی پیکر

 زمین پر اندوه

 یاس ها همه یأس.

این است آیین جنگ
