The Bloody 20th
The Bloody 20th
Century 20
The Bloody Century
If not the worst
The teacher of the 21st
To maim and kill
And rape and fill
The streets with blood
And warm the air enough
for rain to flood and wash away
our great and noble plans
and with only passing peace
To let us be prepared for death
From tsunami, earthquake, drought,
Bullet, bomb, atom or starvation,
In this time of great confusion
