  1. The War Works Hard Dunya Mikhail

  2. How magnificent the war is.

  3. Early in the morning How eager and efficient! It wakes up sirens And dispatches ambulances To various places Swing corpses through the air Rolls stretchers to the wounded

  4. Summons rain from the eyes of mothers From under the ruins… Others are pale and still throbbing Digs into the earth dislodging many things Some are lifeless and glistening It produces the most questions in the minds of children

  5. Entertains the gods By shooting fireworks and missiles into the sky Sows mines in the fields And reaps punctures and blisters Urges families to emigrate Stands beside the clergymen

  6. As they curse the devil Poor devil, he remains With one hand in the searing fire… The war continues working, day and night. It inspires tyrants to deliver long speeches

  7. Awards medals to generals And themes to poets It contributes to the industry of artificial limbs Provides food for flies Adds pages to history books

  8. Achieves quality between killer and killed Teaches lovers to write letters Accustoms young women to waiting Fills the newspapers with articles and pictures Builds new houses for the orphans Invigorates the coffin makers

  9. Gives grave diggers a pat on the back And paints a smile on the leader’s face Yet no one gives it a word of praise! It works with unparalleled diligence!
