All For the Cause

She sought out the secrets of the sinister circle
    diabolical, dainty dances of death
  where butterflies flutter, motorcycles v-v-r-r-o-o-o-o-o-m
    and reputed regime change plays dumb

  She hurled herself onto the altar of martyr's remains
    chew-'em-up-spit-'em-out sacrificial marks of cain
  her grisly face decomposed ere her family knew
    how she retched at what she was up to

Wolfie I like this though I need to chew it a little more to aid in its digestion and Asimilation.Perhaps a mind that is more finely honed will serve as a digestive aid.Regardless it is a compelling turn of phrase.Will be reread I assure you.
