"The Right Reasons"
-- an indriso
They come into our land with tank and tread,
The bark of guns and stamp of heavy boots,
And where they pass their bloody banners spread.
They hunt for us and call us rotten fruits,
As if the world is better when we're dead,
That they should end us all from bud to roots.
For reasons such as this we go to war
And claim as good the life we're fighting for.
