A Divine Wind
A divine wind blew the young man to oblivion
In pursuit of a dream,
A promise,
An ideal;
A sense of nationalism,
To protect the homeland.
A divine mission blew the young man to oblivion
In pursuit of a dogma,
A promise,
An archaic text,
A wish for eternal life,
A paradise with sex on tap.
A mission, a wind, a promise
Based on fear of oblivion,
As desperate young men dream
And sacrifice themselves
For ideals,
For desire,
For fake promises
And impossible dreams.

Kamikaze means divine wind. It seems that idealism can do terrible things. Nationalism, religious fanaticism and political extremism are often the cause of great misery.
