Stained with blood, so many, so many,
Permanent scars, a gash in his hands, on his body;
(Does it haunt him in the night, in the darkness?),
So many people, martyrs, innocents,
The list grows longer, every day,
His hands will never be clean.
He is death, evil, a little Satan, a devil,
A living specter, a terrorist, an embodiment,
Of the worst there is of man, of humanity,
Stripped of all empathy, of conscience,
Hiding in the bunker, with his demons,
Evil’s minions whispering to him, justifying death…
So many martyrs, so many innocents,
Crying from their tombs, from the grave,
The stain of their blood forever, on his hands,
Burned on this flesh, a scar, a memory,
Permanent, that will never fade away,
His hands will never be clean.
