No valid dream to be dealt with differently
No other way than how he dealt with others
so many on each earlier day

His justifications for killing all rang hollow
To kill others callously cannot be excused
He led a regime malevolent and barbaric
Any pleas for clemency understandably refused

His treatment of fellow humans was obscene
and repeated time and time again
There are no valid justifications
for all that slaughter, for all that pain

A mirror reflection of his own horror,
as he lived, so now has he died
After all his many victims
it can be said his end was justified

It is only left for us to reflect
on how we wish our own behaviour to be
How we will now treat our fellow beings
and be a better humanity

He ought to have had no valid expectation
No valid dream to be dealt with differently
No other way than how he dealt with others

Any pleas for clemency understandably refused
