Probably, since March, the song “Mass Destruction” by Faithless has been playing in my head. It is about the special operation in Iraq, but the place and time does not matter. I did not find a satisfactory translation, so I’ve done my own. The lyrics are perfect and there is nothing to add to them. I only allowed myself to modernize them, replacing the names with more relevant ones. I really want the words of this song to sound in every heart. Enjoy and consider:

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed, told me some facts.
Son, I have the duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave, my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
You’re the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed, told me some facts.
Son, I have the duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave, my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
You’re the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

My story stops here, let’s be clear.
This scenario is happening everywhere.
This scenario is happening everywhere.
And you ain't going to nirvana or far-vana,
you're coming right back here to live out your karma.
With even more drama than previously, seriously.
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
that people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the Lord to make it all straight.
There's only now, do it right.
'Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
