  7. The WarlordBy: Mark T Jones Bind, bludgeon, bury Garrote, impale, castrate Order, imprison, enslave Censor, cajole, destroy Your scarlet cape billows as you sense fresh converts Ever more shrill their praises grow. Barren, bleak, blackened Shattered, sterile, stricken Torn, poisoned, defiled Bloodied, entombed, rotting The prize presented on some stolen silver A maggot riddled remnant of a once serene world.  Cut, thrust, plunge Slash, slit, stab Starve, maim, shoot Torch, burn, scar The trumpets herald you with regal glory Epaulettes glisten and medals gleam Plunder, loot, steal Blind, brand, rape Curse, crush, kidnap Smash, torture, kill Your arrival is welcomed with carpets of steel Ramrod backed your subjects hail you
