נפתלי פרימור, שירתי

The Victorious Army of Clay

Deep in the ground
Covered for over two thousand years
The mighty army of the First Emperor of Qin
Is on the move.
No miniature intimidating the real thing
There're in full size
Over 10,000 men and horses in the hundreds.
With the best state-of-the art weaponry
The Emperor could buy.
What a power the Emperor had
To make his army while all the rest
Thought of him as being insane.
Ridiculous mega absolute king
Now his vision is fulfilled.
The clay army conquers the world
Their weapons never got out of order
All wish to have it
Even for a short display.
But all the sophisticated contemporary weaponry
Costing billions and shortly live
The wisdom of the Emperor
I wish we had
Let our arms to be buried
While the people have the power
To live.
