Orgasmic Vancouver: Byron's Sennacherib

Inspired by Byron's The Destruction of Sennacherib. I think mine needs more stanzas.


assyria came down like the wolf on the fold
of lord's lambs in panic heard but not seen
by the cohort a gleaming in purple and gold
paid on the alter of blood drips an obscene
sheen on their spears like stars on the sea
where long waves roll black on deep galilee
drowning the dreams of what could have been
