Mission To Destroy Poem by Sophie Allyah

Like Artaxerxes lll
Like Artaxerxes lV
Like Bagoas

The triptych window of his vision in victory
Each one lies the morbid story

A fire garden, a garden of snow
His mind is as labyrinth
With every dead end a death of a foe

Habile toward ruining like a builder
Strategies in details like a wielder
Jib to cease as he jabbers
Jabber, jabber like Vapula's
speed striking a hammer
But like talking to a mirror
Murmur about his plan of terror
As he becomes madder

A mead and bread with butter
And then some poison mixed
A mind more like triple six
A mind of malice fixed
