• Siegecraft

  All winds change, even Emperors can be caged Rage unchanged since ancient today, still ranging At being’s heart, man cart of sacred parts ill custodian Oils stowed for such events I toss from ramparts Around me buildings exploding, showering hot debris below Amidst smoke, standing with tattered cloak My name by hammerous Gods spoken, known…
