In the spirit of dire news
he's holed his old souls!
Walking so hard and so long
through the coals.

But you cannot master fire
without mastering the wind;
a kink in the fate
of he who has sinned,
but does not believe
in the trouble he is in—
Coveting the secrets of sin
in his grin....

I sneer at the doctrine instilled therein.

Death to the messenger
Sends a message 
Back to the sender.

I suppose I shall borrow his tongue for my blender.
