Let the flies fester it, let it rot, <br />Let the rats nibble on it the whole night through. <br />Let the hellhounds with saliva fraught <br />Ravage it with hungry teeth too. <br /> <br />Let the sun send its blaze-dance, <br />Let Afrit rise from the night shadow. <br />Let the fire squirrels scurry and prance <br />And let Hands of Fire clap from the earth below. <br /> <br />Let it all burn to ash and dust, <br />From the neon-lit strip bars in south town <br />To the lofty hotels and the bitter rust. <br />To the bordellos, every hooker gown. <br /> <br />Let the full moon fall from the night <br />Into the oceans thrust, <br />Let the waters rise to their might, <br />Let the snows come, let it frost <br />And let Shitville be flushed into the sewer, <br />Forgotten beneath the water's height.<br /><br />K.
