I Wish I Were The Border

I wish I were the Border!
I would clear myself off this world
To keep its comeliness in order.
With my existence, they thought, their nations, they pearled
But I divide. Let me disappear and the only kinship prevails.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed.

Oh, mother Earth! I apologize for spoiling the grace of your children.
Because of me, the devil of Pollution prospered in your bosom
Because of me, all humane values lie rotten
As violent as a hungry lion, they won’t let you blossom.
I cause bloodshed on your holy scarf. Let me disappear for all’s sake.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed.

When your children put an end to each other’s life in my name
Saying they are dutiful, don’t love the earth but a bit of land
What a commitment of sin, oh, what a shame!
Patriotism will rest in peace and a fire of hatred fanned.
I am a gravedigger. Let me disappear and let life bloom.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed.

There are people who just want peace, not me.
Why is humanity not afraid of the great Judgement Day?
For our posterity let’s amend, a future with no barren lands they see.
No one wants to see the end of the world in such a malevolent way.
It will be jolly if I am gone, dear Earth! Let me disappear into a black hole.
Let me disappear, disorder I breed
