Raise the knife to the heavens

Let it fall where the child is bound

Violence and vengeance revolving

[1]

Hesitancy disavowed

[2]

Quarantine the plague

Dissipate the dissonance

The great commission

To speak this final act of vengeance

But which brother? I can’t decide

One pompous and arrogant

The other withered, bastardized

[3]

His raised image inverted

He smiles at judgment diverted

His brother's holocaust:

[4]

Holy infanticide
