The depths themselves can’t fathom famine Blood and iron winter storms The screaming babies feeding flames Of war and peace in all its forms Where each exists the other lives Combined they are the revolution’s Radical Islamic bombs And multi-state solutions From imperial republics Of democracy disguises If the unelected leader Is the one who compromises The ambition and the vision Of the world he still believes With all the violence and the anger From injustice he perceives As inequality of faith At the expense of every choice And so instead he learns to speak in Every people-powered voice
