EMBRACE THE DOVE
The tempest of doom
Hovering endlessly
Annihilating ceaselessly
Creates no room for boom
Embrace the dove
Flexing the strong muscle
In pursuit of destruction
With no notion of construction
To create a paying hustle
Embrace the dove
Wailing and sobbing mothers
Sitting in haven tight
Gazing at the gruesome fight
Riddled with furious murders
Embrace the dove
Assemblage of these objects
Dreadful and horrifying
Stand very terrifying
To depict the nefarious projects
Embrace the dove
The collateral damage
Wrecked on souls
Weaken our hairs to soles
A case we can’t manage
Embrace the dove
Young lads in camouflage
Navigating strange lands
With lethal objects in hands
To hoist their bloodstained flag
Embrace the dove
