distilled from the blood of others
this thing you get showered with
big shining teeth
and hunger insatiable
raise the glass, toast the past
prove yourself an ass
drink the weakness of the weak
as you ooze among them
while the strong are buried in early graves
if they're lucky
named on lists somewhere
perhaps even carved in cold stone
if recorded at all
drink deep the gilded light
drink the glory
i hope it chokes you

Thanks @FrostPoem - glory.
