When slain by none else
Than on whose knees
He trustfully sleeps?
When his trustee, his ruler, his priest
Gives him away in betrayal
To wolves in sheep's clothing
Whom should he call for succour?
Impostors and hypocrites
Fox-like
Mouthing sermons and homilies
Prey upon his plighted trust!
The fear of hell
None,
The prick of conscience
None!
