Oog om oog

Mijn vriend, we kunnen toch niet opgetogen
een kind dat voor een overwinning leeft
vertellen dat de oorlog vrede geeft,
want “sterven voor je land”, dat is gelogen.

De politiek staat echter in de stand
van ‘t oude oog-om-oog en tand-om-tand.

... Het kwatrijn is een weergave van een deel uit “Dulce et Decorum est” (1917), van Wilfred Owen, geschreven tijdens WO I: “My friend, you would not tell with such high zest, To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.” www.warpoetry.co.uk/owen1.html#READINGS ...

Coenraedt, 8 jaar geleden

Een mooi verwoorde waarheid tegen hardleersheid.
