On a list of murdered artists, was the name of Ben the magician.
With a smile and his tricks he earned his money, Ben the magician.
Then, some found it necessary that the World should be relieved from his evil, they meant the magician of course.
Who could hide a dove or a flower before, couldn’t hide himself when somebody knocked on the door. Transport was already arranged for Ben the magician.
Ever since, whenever I see a screamer with an alternative for democracy, I think: in your paradise on earth, how much room is there for Ben the magician?
May Ben rest in peace.
