Let the madman rant
let him rave
deny him a platform
deny him the stage
Allowing him to speak
to spew his lethal bile
to create a false truth
to make his people cry
The world should shun him
put him in a box
deny him the stage
the snares of the fox
Lies and delusion
murdering his people
the world must condemn him
ignore his falsehoods
the ravings of the madman
