Iron Dead

Though the faith 

                                          he professess

                          seems infrangible as iron,

                                     it is also iron cold, 

                                                iron dead,

                                           rusting away 

                                            with bigotry

                                            and conceit

                                                 swelling 

                                         his egotistical 
                         
                                                     head!
