Hammers

H e is fused and used by lust and longing,

A nointed with insensate stains of scarlet sin—

M aking nations—, boring bleeding pits belonging

M ore to demons than progressive nails that dwell in

E very aspiration of the affluence loving kings and

R ulers, who in due course find that they’d been

S tripped of scruples as he led their hands.
