Who wants to stop us killing? Evil bitch!
Who cares about annoying little lives?
For we find murder thrilling — damn this witch
Who wants to stop us killing! Evil bitch!
Dare she oppose the powerful and rich?
Abort her sad attempt! Unsheathe the knives!
Who wants to stop us killing? Evil bitch!
Who cares about annoying little lives?

— D.N. O’Brien

The Last Nominee

We are pretty sure this judge is clean.
Though to take up the post he’s not keen.
For he fears some will lie,
And his name crucify.
He is Jesus – the just Nazarene.
