After the guns have quieted their wailing,
After the piercing war cries have silenced,
After the killing and the hunger
And the pain brought by violence,
There will be more;
Anarchy is a cruel and temporary state;
Before a new warlord fits his crown
And storms to his thrown,
There is only a passing of time
And waiting
