“You must think I’m stupid.
You must think I’m easily surprised.
Do you feel as foolish
As you look to my two taurine eyes?
For I am the Alpha.
I am the Mountain.
I am the Push,
And I am the irresistible Pull.
I am the Action
And the Reaction.
I am the Myth and I am the Man.
I am the Bull.
Hundreds have pursued me.
Many men have meddled in my maze.
They come like cud for chewing,
Come like fields of flesh that I graze.
I find your kind so disgusting:
The thrust of your lust,
And the dust-unto-dust
Of the mortal man.
You think yourselves so deserving
Of love, but the purging
Has come, and the scourge
Is a my command.
For every human who’s met me
Has fed me
Shaking and eyes wide.
The only thought as I ate them:
How I hate them,
And I’ll eat the whole human race alive.
For I am the Alpha.
I am the Mountain.
I am the Push,
And I am the irresistible Pull.
I am the Action
And the Reaction.
I am the Myth and I am the Man.
I am the Bull.
Now I apprehend you.
Now I shall accept your sacrifice.
Now to rake and rend you,
Break my fast, and bleed you bone dry.
