250 lives ended that instant
Or, maybe more, their faces are hard to keep straight
Ever more haunted the foot of death's bed leading up to
That familial genocide
Committed by my hand but forced by another
The attack I always knew was coming, weapons of mass interruption always hidden in planned sight
What an egregious, overtly evil act
