In what world
Does deliberate murderous
Waste of innocent blood
Amount to progress in war
That is the recourse
Of a coward
Making a show of
Moving forward
Resorting to medieval tactics
It's basic mathematics
Your approach is antique
Your style is erratic
Shelling a mother
Handicapping the
Orphaned daughter
Your war trophy
Is carved from the ruins
Of medical facilities
City streets strewn
With civilian casualties
Your war strategy
Is piling up fatalities
Diagrams of a tragedy
Of unharmed personalities
That girl deserved better
And she's the open letter
Of inevitable vendetta
This ain't over
Until you paid back
Every bloody quarter.
