How Can This Be
How can this be
pain and cruelty
food, warmth, medicines
one man, one man once again
surrounded by minions money and fear
lies, lies, lies,
a country of falsehoods
only the young are aware of the good
the truth the reality
once again how can this be
the sound of bombs
gathering the children
in the basements
dying in the streets
resistance existence
seeing hope and death bearing witness
how can this be
out in the sky and hiding the truth
destruction and untruth
there is a memory of this
its happened before
no matter what he calls it
it’s death and its war
glory to the heroes
end this demon king
a humanless false thing
