Once upon a time

An extraordinary peace
No bonds, no treaty signed
No one blamed, none fined.
In absolute silence
Without bombastic words
Weapons of the world
Getting their place
In museums of all charming countries.
A do-not-touch tag attached
to those instruments
of wars and worries
For posterity to watch
How insane we were
killing ourselves mindlessly
In land, water and air.

Let today's world see
Yesterday's deadly destiny
In those grave asylums
We were committed to the crime
Once upon a time.
