how do they sleep at night
the decision makers
covered in blood stained cloth
they sleep fine
their decisions your demise
birds fly across their blue skies
missiles fly across yours
one head above the parapet cries
stop please stop
a nation holds its breath
waiting for the end
millions of voices cry out
stop please stop
they are not listening
crippled with pain
inconceivable brutality
the whole world screams
stop please stop
indifferent to condemnation
a rogue state doubles down
turns the other cheek
the one rampant with rage
they are not listening
having lost all humanity
they unleash their revenge
amidst the crying
stop please stop
you wonder how they sleep
they sleep fine
covered in blood stained flags
plotting your demise
birds fly across their blue skies
missiles fly across yours
will it never end
we whisper
stop please stop
