The Second of May 1808, by Francisco de Goya
Robert L. Martin

The Sanctioning

Let it all hang out.
Release your aggression.
 
War has been declared.
Free the beast that lives deep inside.
Make yourself feel better in the soul.
You have the ruling class’s permission.
 
Go with the flow of the energetic
force within your system.
Feel the adrenalin surging
through your being.
 
Tear down the cities and buildings.
Violate the enemys’ precious virgins.
Forget about the ethics ingrained in you.
 
Relive your childhood and
gloat over what you have done.
Smash your toys against the wall.
Pull your dog’s tail and make him yelp.
Give yourself an excuse for your evil deeds.
 
The time has finally come
to act according to the influence
that the evil has within you
and the evil ruling class that
sanctioned you to act in that way.
 
Let it all hang out, little macho man.

I agree this a bit sarcastic, but I am so angry at the militants who use hostages for negotiations.
