You are a villainous creature,
Only a fool would praise your actions
Unemotional and unscrupulous

Causing unnecessary pain,
And you don't even care
Loved ones are dying, defending their
Land they call home

You are blinded by your greed
Only thinking about yourself
Unnecessary war you created
Real heroes are fighting while you
Sit and watch
End this disastrous war
Let there be peace
For-the-sake-of the innocent civilian
whose lives you are destroying

A real hero is someone who is

Heroic, valiant and selfless
Eager to help those in need
Real heroes protect
Only a fool would call you a hero

You call yourself a hero but we call you the villain of this tragic story
