Babylon

Spiffy.

I covet everything.
I say
"I have done nothing wrong."

My feet lead to the grave;
They are fortified with the blood of the saints.

I stand silently with my feet in cold water and knives in my hands.
My eyes are closed.

Lying in wait.

I consume the saints
as they degrade themselves to the very pits of hell
for me.

I am impatient for them.
I am Babylon and I covet them all.
