A monster gets those in its dominion To follow without question, No hesitation just fanatical reverberations Aping the monster and groveling to it Hoping for a reward or more, Both monster and those in his dominion Are the very things that I abhor, Both spew toxicity and hateful bile And are without empathy or integrity,…
