A firefly dies of living fifteen hours,
a toy house crumbles after two years' time;
on his bed of golden eggs and flattened flowers,
the fox sleeps soundly in his den of crime.
Self-serving, unswerving,
all-craving, feasting, saving,
feeds his brothers, eats his lovers,
Son of Mammon gets his scam on.
A seeker scribbles on a barren board
and turns his talent to a demon's toy
to heap more riches on the master's hoard,
and loves the other in the one's employ.
Self-serving, unswerving,
all-craving, feasting, saving,
feeds his brothers, eats his lovers,
Son of Mammon gets his sham on.
He drives his warhorse at the needle's eye
revising heaven with his every breath
in self-made virtue; and with every lie
he pours oblation to the second death.
And Earth though full of those who know the way,
weeps in silence at her slow decay.
Self-serving, unswerving,
all-craving, feasting, saving,
feeds his brothers, eats his lovers,
Son of Mammon gets his damn on.
