The Falafel Stand in No Man’s Land

Adam Roufberg — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 03:05:07 +0000

Hey, my friends

On both |sides| of the wall

Put down your weapons for just enough time

to remove the dead collect the wounded

play some music and eat a little

on the playground of our commonalities

while we stop the bleeding

get the dead out of sight dance a little

and eat together in no man’s land

when we’re done not fighting

for just a little while

we can get back to the fun with our guns

and shoot at each other again

kill each others families and friends

addicted to retribution

and the food breaks in between

satisfying our human needs

together, as enemies

with the new rules of engagement

art with my missiles

tea with your air strikes

and music don’t forget

while we take a break from the fun

put down the gun for long enough

to remove the dead collect the wounded

eat a little smoke the hooka

on the playground of our human needs

together, as enemies

while we rest catch our breath

so we can kill each other again
