All are under siege
Masada stood but fell inside:
Many brave men fought and died.
France felt safe behind maginot line-
But the siege faced was of another kind

We of today’s great age
Are under siege by vested rage
The forces of moral decay
Like wolves prowl seeking for prey

Patton believed the only way attack;
That no fortress stands forever back
Total victory or final shame-
Détente only works as a bain

You can’t ignore the cultures whim
Either adapt, destroy, or moderate him
The id and the accepted wise
They dig trenches and cloud your eyes

Were under siege at home and nation
Let no warrior leave his station
Pray the Persians may meet that fate
Cut down the king at Nisrocs gate.
