Lex Talionis

The world is full of gods and beasts
Some to serve and some to feast
Avert your eyes from the sky
The lies of God and the God of lies
And even forests once lush and green
Have the stench of murder and children’s screams
But bird of prey in your eyes is where our heavens lie
But bird of prey in your eyes is where our future lies
The world is full of gods and beasts
