"The Final Round of Man vs. Man
is Starting" - the alarm bells toll,
The combatants are raging in their corners
Once unleashed, they'll be out of control

What started at sunrise
shattering peace and amity,
Could be leading to the sunset
and end of all humanity

Our once tranquil planet
now ignited by hatred's fire,
Could be on the verge of burning, 
together with mankind's pyre

Put wisdom ahead of ego
Consider the future orphans with pity
Let foresight overcome rage
Discard dogma and work for unity

Instead of destroying Everything 
which has taken eons to build
Seek solutions, not revenge
before everyone's blood is spilled

All the players are alarmingly armed
And on inflammatory doctrines, overfed
In Man vs Man, nobody wins
Halt now, before we are all dead
