Goes the night,
With murky shadows!
Trailing behind,
Comes the uncertain dawn,
And the infra day –
Nervous to bear the regime’s
Iron-fisted might.
The world sees Gaddafi
In countless tenses:
Too far gone with the succession
Of greed and betrayal.
No exclamations will be adequate –
To explain why the corrupted grandeur
Of the tyrant demands immortality –
As he slaughters his own people!
Hai! Hai! Gaddafi.
Hai! Hai! Gaddafi.
You are narrating to the nations –
The meaning of a dictator.
