NOW WE ARE DOOMED!!

With a new dawn, comes another bombing

Tons of people dead, everyone sobbing

Day and night, we shed continuous tears

No longer can we, allay our grave fears

Everywhere you go, it's the same story of sorrow

Our faces are now worn, with lines of creased furrow

But don't we know, these are products of our past?

Tell me when, you rendered help last

All things we preach, every word a lie

Why must we do this? O friend! please tell me why

Now we're doomed, by our very own deeds

The crop of hatred blossoms, we sowed the seeds
