"War."

"Blurbed world is blood
smear on white page,

00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:11.070 align:middle line:84%
metaphors useless
thoughts impotent,

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:16.650 align:middle line:84%
even the sense of days is
lost in the raging militants.

00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:20.070 align:middle line:84%
No life other than political,
the fact that family

00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:24.450 align:middle line:84%
and friends subjected

man looking back eyes creased,

00:00:32.189 --> 00:00:36.600 align:middle line:90%

a scratch in the dust,

00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:45.210 align:middle line:84%
and odor of some faint fruit,
some flower whose name he'd

00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:46.860 align:middle line:90%
lost.

00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:49.110 align:middle line:90%
Why would they hate him?

00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:53.800 align:middle line:84%
Who fight now insistently
to kill one another?

00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:55.580 align:middle line:90%
Why not?"
