"moving alone thro an alien country,
learning to be an ardship to myself,
learning to be my own black dog..."
hitchiking thro australia i had a copy of the russel hoban novel "pilgerman" in my rucksac, but the ardship and the black dog alluded to here are characters from another hoban novel - "riddley walker" - which I've been reading and rereading for over 20 years and which seems more and more relevant to the world around me...

lyrics
he died in 1934 having fled from Hitler
but the Nazis used the gifts of this Jewish inventor
and Zyklon B was one of the inventions of Fritz Haber
who won the Nobel prize for contributions to agriculture
the air is mostly made up of inactive nitrogen
it's also part of us mixed up with elements like carbon
to be used by plants and animals it must first be joined to hydrogen
and how this could be done was changed in 1909
sometimes nitrogen is fixed to hydrogen by lightning
but mostly it's bacteria in roots that do this joining
so we use clover and manure to boost the yields of our growing
but with Habers nitrate fertilisers our yields are exploding
Fritz Haber's wife killed herself with his military gun
because he was overseeing gas attacks in world war 1
years later we had the agricultural revolution
pesticides were developed from gas warfare weapons
a stockpile of nitrate explosives in Alabama
after world war 2 were developed into fertilisers
exploding towns or exploding populations
which is the wiser?
