Drones, Drain, Clowns, Clone
Deranged uncultured, dirty toenails, praying five times a day
Pious pretenders, underpaid armed mercenaries, MIT son-in-law flunkies
Red blood flagbearer, dripping prophets, stolen tech, bombs guided drones
Threats, drains, warfront profiteers, high above the sky, propped, dropped
Bayrakdar drones killed 5000 of my countrymen in cold blood, Israel cheered on
Georgia welcomed caravans of arms, Turkish convoys on the run, cooking skin alive
Azeri war chants, frothing animals killing from the sky, surgically laughing at their crimes
Turkish guidance, clowns cloning disdain, exported, never expunged, multiplying like flies.
Countries mounted on dead horses stuffed, fellating spicy scimitars
Magical jingoism, jailed journalists, propaganda bought by the pound
Petrodollars syphoned coffers, dictators ruling golden toilet style
Nude dancers, lacerated masses, Kurds, Syrians, Artsakh, free Artsakh!
Millions of souls have been disturbed by ambitions to rule and destroy
Millions more will die before revenge is final, their downfall forsworn
Millions of Arabs will rise, will topple Turkish allegiances spat upon
Duplicitous, two faced, fezed facetiousness, good for nothing barrenness.
Let this pestilence leave this earth, cleave their destiny, Armenians to thrive once more.
