I have been rash in action
Taking advantage to advance myself
At easy cruelty, well practised
Be glad it was a slap and not a closed fist
I have trysted and created issues, hosting mistresses
I have made wanton sinning a life fixture
I have longed for worldly things, pictured myself
A conqueror throned above mountains of dead men
I have potted plants just to watch them shrivel
I have turned worlds to ash to earn a sash signalling office
I have declined offers often, I have made children orphans
I have been subjected to and subjected others to torture
I have manipulated, knowing I am handsome
I have bloodied my hands, Lord, lavabo
