Rusher

Born in the dead of winter, under a pale Siberian moon Thrust from the womb by the throes of his mother’s death, he took his first premature breath Cursed carnivorous seed from the Cossack line of Tubal-cain Rusher was his Magog given name Raised to believe that democracy was a disease A western swine flu, which made people delusional Everyone believing they’re equal to the czar, crazy thinking that challenged the rule of the Cossack warrior clan Only one man had the right to rule the land — he who severed the bejeweled hand that held the royal scepter Rusher ... the blood snow pentagram picked him Now he patiently plots the fall of the broken kingdoms of the west Subversively making cyber calls to create more civic unrest Then sitting back to watch the thread of democracy unravel Become a tangled mess Rusher ... born to die a beastly death, Got innocent blood dripping from the tongue of his premature bruin’s breath
