Is a murderer’s murderer a murderer?
If only with a word
I could have held back the killer,
When a brother found himself under threat.
I would have convinced him, and no one would have fallen.

I tried again and again.
Together with the neighbors, the whole village.
What to do, I complained to God,
The calamity found no obstacle.

Evil will stop there
Where it is stopped,
Where to kill and steal
They will not allow it.
It did not yield to words,
Arms must be twisted,
It must be put in prison.
If it goes on killing —
They will kill the rabid one too.
