Efficiency of horror

Let there be no more holocausts,

No more brutal solutions,

No more fear of the knock on the door.

Let there be Peace between peoples,

Peace between nations.

 

Let there be no more round-ups

Nor terror on railway stations,

No more fear of the prowling car.

Let there be Peace between peoples,

Peace between nations.
