Red River
the train was too late
by foot it was too far
the river too nearby
the hatred too strong
bullets through your head
river of blood
red Danube
dead Budapest
the train was too late
the train was too late

Thanks Jan.
My first cultural connection with the Danube was through my plonking away on the piano piece "An der schönen blauen Donau". Never did get the hang of it!
Nowadays I'm grateful for its performance during the New Year's Day concerts.
What a contrast; the beauty of Europe's cultural acheivements with the horrors which our home has witnessed.
