Desecration is the smile on my face.


Fate hired me once to play a villain's part.
I did it badly, wasting valued blood;
Now when the call is given to the good,
It is that knave who answers in my heart.


I have walked through many lives,
some of them my own,
and I am not who I was,
though some principle of being
abides, from which I struggle
not to stray.
