David Wirsig - Refugee

So they wandered again
To make a home for their family and kin
Polluted all the waters within
But we can make it all better again

We'll filter out their women and men
With no quarter for the young or the old
When children are expendable then
We can leave them shivering out in the cold

So you brokered a deal
A handshake and a permanent seal
Ascend to the position of power
Atop a wall with an ivory tower

Turn away the outstretched hands
It's what you did for the lowest of these
So tell me was it part of the plan
To leave them shivering out in the cold?

You decreed
Go out and cleanse the lands
Until the waters are pure
(Enough to wash the blood off our hands)

Then we'll sing
We're the chosen souls
But can we ever atone
For leaving them in the cold?
