It will come,
and I rejoice
(for the victims).
But even if I live to 120,
I want none of it.
I want a clean break
from the blood-soaked
2000-millennium history
of our race.
Nor is it to our credit
that we wouldn’t give up the taste
till we could get the same
from another brand.
It makes no amends,
to them,
were amends possible.
