Lovingly and incoherently it is

nothing less than a demonic spleen

he laboriously and excruciatingly

reveals, an excrescence of hatred so

vivid it consumes his mind for he is a 

lost soul that no power on Earth, not

the love of parent to child, or brother

to brother can heal. Behind him

whispering cajolingly in his ready ear

a helpmeet in an exorcism that expels

the rage of the wounded child refusing

to become an adult, secure in his

treasured victimhood, dredging up 

one invention after another like frozen

icicles of revenge to stab deep into

the hearts of his hapless victims.
