I Warrant that thy lack of care
Is bound within a hard restraint,
Bound within thy calloused fist
To disavow convention’s taint.
I Warrant that thy steely eye
Hath fixed upon the prize of yore,
Hath disregarded consequence
In disinterring mankind’s law.
I Warrant that thy wall of pride
Hath steeled thy arm of self regard,
In keeping thy momentum’s rush
From dissipating conscience hard .
I Warrant that the breath thou breathe
In staling air of all contrite,
Contaminates the very heart
Of those who roar “Seig Heil” to *****
I Warrant in the dead of night
When phantoms stalk thy peace of mind,
Incineration souls aflame
Might cause thy yellowed teeth to grind.
I Warrant that through centuries
These ghosts shall ride thy spirit hard,
And man shall weep in horror when
He looks upon thy cruel regard.
