Satan was always a death-roll financed by a lot of desperate capital,

Because, lets admit, he was very good at selfish calculation and lies,

And was rather brilliant marking everyone as an accounting number,

Something the bankers, corporatists and superrich deeply admired.

But, once numbered, he consumed their purest essence into his personal hell,

Defunding public services into a slaver’s caste roll-call of manufacturing speed,

Manipulating minds into corrupting networks that blinded shared intelligence,

Polluting environments, stirring climates, torturing spiritual life into submission,

And mass producing armies as offering to Death, whom he worshiped from fear.
