Insanity of these minutes
The Attack of the Madman
releasing the dogs of war.
crucible of terror, pain,
history repeating…
 
Choice of the Madman
invasion, war, shelling, Shaheds,
tanks, fighter jets, on the move.
Attacking a sovereign nation
their neighbor, not their kin…
 
Ancient lines of kinship, language,
Sovereignty denied, Madman
genocide, terror in the streets,
launching chaos, Armageddon.
Lunatic on the march…
 
Dominoes poised, yet standing, defiant,
taunted by the Madman, this devil,
sabers rattling, dogs barking,
But he is encircled by Freedom.
He cannot stand in the end…
 
People are rising, stronger, resolute,
The world united against terror,
siding with the right against evil…
Night will soon end, victory…
Madman in the dock…
