supreme gods of mysticism
leafless and roguish...

deep dark clouds invade
roguish winds churn reckless sea...

A land without a single crook,
Because criminals they don't brook:
They'd out fish them with a hook
Relying in their roguish look...

A District without a Half Crook

And as unpleasant as damned gooks...
The criminal, without fail, cooks
First claiming that he lives took

Then, high time petty that you forsook
No one has got wings of rook
Nor in Vengeful World saved by Book....

From east of Lilla Bay.
The ship's crew hailed from Lilligo,

His crew, and all his loot,

I’m an unsuspecting monster.
Damn fools! Clothes never make the man
nor his discriminating taste.
This real man is more inhuman
whose moral state is unchaste.
I was born with this affliction
Wreaking pain is satisfaction....
