Take their pleasures as they find them
Safe behind a numbered door
Take their measures as they’re given
Find their lovers on the floor
Consequence restores renewal
Contemplate aftereffect
Make their statues where they conquer
Waif will huddle in their shade
Shake their confidences loose
In time to crumble debts unpaid
Consequence deplores refusal
Compensate those lives they’ve wrecked
Fake their feelings when they need to
Pass as human out among
Rake their profits lying fallow
Mass times energy is wrong
Consequence for psychopaths
Consummates their dance of death
