They’ll check your health, if you’re strong,
they’ll hand you a summons to assemble,
they’ll let you see the family off,
they’ll stamp the papers.

Bandits and hooligans,
drunks and addicts,
the romantic and the specialist
wait on the field of battle
the best and the worst trash.

Nature purifies itself,
the evil accumulated in the world
thirsts to drink blood…
War… — that is the very thing.
