Meaning[edit]

Am I the only one who remembers the Khmer Rouge connection? 46.131.22.198 (talk) 10:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Listen to the voice of Buddha [Pol Pot] Saying stop your sericulture [capitalist exploitation] Little people like your offspring Boiled alive for some God's stocking [likening children to silkworm larvae] Buddha's watching, Buddha's waiting

Just because the kid's an orphan Is no excuse for thoughtless slaying Children don't forget this torture [cares for the orphans] Just because you call her mother Doesn't mean that she's your better [better than a mother would]

Once more with the voice of Buddha [Pol Pot] He'll say carry on your slaughter Who cares for the little children [but the Khmer Rouge] You may slice with no conviction Blind revenge on a blameless victim

In my opinion straight forward. 46.131.22.198 (talk) 10:23, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
