Reasons came after the killing began,
Concepts of virtue came man by man.
A world to prove and an evil to end.
Bullets did follow, and sandstorms did rend
Oceans of flesh that thirsted for seas.
His mind further bended at lumbar and knees.
Counted in life, forty thousand years later,
City and man a deepening crater.
Miles in height he had reached the top,
And had to surmise why the killing should stop.
