moloch the heavy judger of men!
moloch the incomprehensible prison! moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse
and congress of sorrows! moloch whose buildings are judgment!
moloch the vast stone of war! moloch the stunned governments!
moloch whose mind is pure machinery! moloch whose blood is running
money! moloch whose fingers are ten armies! moloch whose breast is a
cannibal dynamo! moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb!
