These are the emotional sentiments
of a leader whose nation has been
brought to a state of conflict by a
neighbour whose violent grasp
reaches out to encompass land sacred
to the memory of those inheriting it from
their forbears, now reduced to countering
the land-greed of a monster willing
to sacrifice countless lives while in
the process destroying all that he
covets, blind to the horrors witnessed
by the leader whose effusive praise
for those whose support has enabled
his nation to hold the intruders at bay
tearful at the sights of destruction of
his beloved homeland, agonizing at
the plight of his butchered people yet
ringing with hope for the future as he
applauds the resolute courage of his
soldiers in facing the enemy, waxing
poetic in his promise that he and
his people will endure, will succeed in
routing their tormentor, so their nation
will rise in triumph against adversity.
