Command
First they commanded:
let there be arrows
and bows.
Then they commanded:
let there be bullets
and rifles.
Then they commanded:
let there be bombs
and atoms.
An order is an order!
Now they have commanded:
Kill!
and
be killed!
But truly:
what does an order mean?...

فرمان
Woman
اول فرمان دادند
تیر باشد
و کمان.
بعد فرمان دادند
تیر باشد
و تفنگ.
بعد فرمان دادند
بمب باشد
و اتم.
دستور، دستور است!
حالا فرمان داده اند:
بکشید!
و
کشته شوید!
اما راستی:
دستور یعنی چه؟...
