\t\t\t\tHe was defiant;
And missing not his target,
He plundered an entire nation,
To the call of the gun!<\/p>\n

He showed no mercy;
And mocked democracy,
Whilst trumpeting his indifferent egos,
To women and children who wept in pathos!<\/p>\n

But when day dawned on him;
Sobriety welcomed his calm.
Alas, his despondent ambiance,
Now speaks of his lost conscience!<\/p>\n

But will the dead bodies
Come back to life?
And darn their broken homes?
Oh Gbagbo, what a needless strife!<\/p>\n

Your \u201cExcellency\u201d, you have ripped apart,
Your own tainted bequest!<\/p>\n

Methinks, perhaps;
Dr. Faustus,
Will sing you this song!
Adieu!<\/p>\n
