Diseases trailing the footsteps of aliens
Destruction beholding the hearts of babies
Death's knocking at the Piper's doors
Oh desolate one! Who is thy saviour?


Humour fazes the face of the Earth
Humility speaks from the mouth of the greed
Value of lives destroyed in the altar of cowardice
Valour depicts heroism and ineptitude of the peasants.


Kurds wailing for the survival of herself
Syrians wishing to behold the cloud of peace
Baghdad - a terrain for anarchy and chaos
Who can save the lad from tears of joy?


Boots stamping bullies; the ants and termites
Grenades and other munitions gladden the world.
Mankind weeps as she encounters grief.
Men in suits dance to the bank hallways.
Mankind seeks for warmth to free herself from the shackles of desolation.
