INSANITY!

An eye for an eye
A life for a life
A tear for another
A knife for a knife

 Let’s wreak revenge
Show them who is King
They can’t mess with us
And expect us to do nothing

 Let’s nuke them all
Blast them out of sight
Make sure they don’t manage
To last another fight

 Let us not forgive this
The world might think we’re weak
Let’s finish what they’ve started
Lest they think we’re meek

 What’s a few more million dead
In this overcrowded world?
Just a number in history
Another story to be told

****

The madness is beginning
Let’s brace ourselves for war
Selfishly hoping we and ours are safe,
Just watching from afar


*****

A prayer to the heavens
Please let sanity return
Stop the crazy mayhem
Before our world begins to burn.
