3. //: Wheat ploughed under, where could it be? ://

Could it be Kansas? Wind blows free.
Wheat ploughed under, where could it be?
Earthquake victim, hears of hunger.
Wheat ploughed under.

4. //: Peace talk and honor, where could it be? ://
President's recorder, state security.
Peace talk and honor, where could it be?
On every mouth and tongue.
In every hand
A gun.
5. //: Give empty prizes, where could it be? ://
In the white house, overseas.
Nobel Peace Prize, where could it be?
Ho Chi Minh rejects it
Kissinger accepts it
Give empty prizes.
(Refrain at coda) Murder guilty...
