Starting with a probably satirical poem about a sorceress trying to cause mass destruction with unspeakably vile black magic, these poems have a tight rhyme scheme and are designed to assault the reader's metaphysical notions of things: the soul is a death wish, God is a tool of money-worshippers, and the bite of the snake, though venomous, undoes the series of delusions designed to cheat humans out of their lives.
