The Cause For Fools
This world breeds men who lust to rule
Consumed by the desire for power,
Yet a famine of wisdom rests in fools
And from their hands come only disaster.
Like brute barbarians who've lost their minds
They run amuck and sow tragic death
On innocent people who never did find
The trap that their governments had set.
And so blood flows to water the streets
To the sound of wailing and cries,
Death is the cause of fools that greets
Us all, as we grieve and our Freedom dies.
