On his head
was tattooed a number
while through his mind
flew destruction.
Over his shoulder blew Kong,
and upon Kong,
war's breastplate of torture.
A viced gripped and girdled waist
with spikes tipped to rip the flesh.
A chain mail vest webbed with deism
and acute despair lay sheathed.
You see him and terror grips,
when through his eyes,
your eyes are reflected.
What is your number.

On his head
was tattooed a number
while through his mind
flew destruction.
Over his shoulder blew Kong,
and upon Kong,
war's breastplate of torture.
A viced gripped and girdled waist
with spikes tipped to rip the flesh.
A chain mail vest webbed with deism
and acute despair lay sheathed.
You see him and terror grips,
when through his eyes,
your eyes are reflected.
What is your number.
