Born Evil


Even as a child he was cruel       As an adult he was paranoid and unstable
It was fun to torture animals  Forced thousands to flee their lands
Throwing them off high places     He was obsessed with torturing and killing
       Had his own torture chamber       Destroyed thousands of villages 
He killed his wife after one day        In a massacre he killed 60,000 people
Everyone was an enemy to him    Parents watched him kill their children
  He even killed his own son in a rage    Liked to feed people to bears and wolves
Carried a long staff and used it       He would order an execution and watch
Ordered people to be beheaded        Girls were raped and tortured slowly
    Hanged, burned, boiled, impaled      And used as target practice for enjoyment
And more, so horrible I cannot write   His torturing could last for 15 hours
  This event in history was long               He was Tsar of Russia from 1533 - 1584
He was Ivan the Terrible           He died playing chess, poisoned it is said.
