A benevolent disposition that hides a belligerent murderer
A paid assassin sheathed in the skein of a pious mendicant
The peddler of morals cocks the wrist that plunges a dagger into the heart
Fond reminiscences are but mere preparatory blocks for revenge
Deceptive doves in white, remorseless ravens in disguise
The founts of pure gurgling water receptacles for poisoned chalices
Father against daughter, mother against son, brother against sister
Vengeance thy name!
