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.
