What creature so corrupted can excel
the abomination of them who also consumed the soul of a nation
in a gluttony of vanity?
What septic soul can
consign the children of the people
for mercenary pay and profit
to a vile war not his nation’s own?
a tumefied, grotesquely featured,
vague human caricature
taking delight in dispatching
his nation’s innocent and guiltless
to slaughter
and extirpation can;
That kind of reptilian
careless of civilization
garbed in purloined garments of perverted power can;
a chain-smoking sack of guts,
remorseless in self-adoration can;
because he can.
