Malevolent figure, he sits alone,
eyes aflame with death and with hate,
affixing all within their reach with irate
and angry looks,. his seat of stone
cracking beneath his savagery, this throne
of justice broken as his minions concentrate
their evil at his feet, call to him and elevate
Him as their god, though he was overthrown
like them and cast into the pit.
Behind him flare the flames of hell:
Sulphurous red and yellow, flames which fit
and mold themselves around his silhoutte, around the smell
of his foul and unclean soul: He does commit
Even still the crimes for which he fell.
