Rahayu by Adzes

Dead hand gloved in stolen skin
A rictus mask, misaligned
A flayer of the young within
A human shell, malign

You gladly feed our children
Into the bloody maw
Of your cursed ambition
A wretch who believes in nothing

Choke on your own blood
Cheated of the prize
You sought as you climbed
Over the bodies of children

May your memory be a curse
An epithet against those who would
Trample over lives made worse
By your quest for power

You cloak your acts
In the language of caring
For children when it is children's lives that you steal

Choke on your own blood

A nameless grave is too good for you
May your memory be a curse
And may your name be spat upon
While you live
