A while ago I quoted the Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko here in another context. Today he has a poem published in the Guardian UK about the London bombing. |
What is our planet?
It is an overbombed junction,
full of dead bodies, of nursing infants.
God, if this damned terror
could make us all relatives!
But, how gleefully
some of our noble citizens
called to the radio-station "Echo of Moscow,"
with a joyful, strange condolence:
"That's what they get!
That ... that ... that!"
