He was defiant;
And missing not his target,
He plundered an entire nation,
To the call of the gun!
He showed no mercy;
And mocked democracy,
Whilst trumpeting his indifferent egos,
To women and children who wept in pathos!
But when day dawned on him;
Sobriety welcomed his calm.
Alas, his despondent ambiance,
Now speaks of his lost conscience!
But will the dead bodies
Come back to life?
And darn their broken homes?
Oh Gbagbo, what a needless strife!
Your “Excellency”, you have ripped apart,
Your own tainted bequest!
Methinks, perhaps;
Dr. Faustus,
Will sing you this song!
Adieu!
