BALLAD OF THE DESERTER

Oscar turned twenty years
and he took the decision
of not doing the draft.
It's a singular case,
not a coward neither killer:
just a peaceful boy.

Look that they will condemn you
for traitor and deserter.
—More traitors are who send
the people to the wall,
says Oscar, who didn't forgot.

Nobody thinks that way,
you've lost the mind
—Enough that another loses it
and we will be two finally,
says Oscar. So much illusion.

And the two alone what do you achieve
with such a great stupidity?
—That the death industry
ends once and for all,
says Oscar, how naive he is.

Because two disobey
you believe it will end?
—It won't end completely,
it will start to end.
He's crazy, poor Oscar.

Instead of losing a year
you'll lose the existance.
—Imprisioned or dead I'll have sown
the seed of peace.
Poor Oscar, he's too crazy.

He truned twenty years
and they're coming to get him
form the military draft
But Oscar says no,
I don't learn to kill.

Poor Oscar, he never returned.
