This madness must end

The carnage must stop,
This madness must end,
It is too much, too terrible,
Terror raining down, incessant,
A decade of war crimes, evil,
Falling on a sovereign land,
While the world watches, silent,
Letting them go it alone,
A nation emulating Tank Man,
Defiant, standing resolute,
Against the forces of evil, or terror,
While darkness stalks the street…
