By Avarice Conscripted

The waves that break above Charybdis
Shatter as they clash.
As do these avaricious shades
In combat on the ash.
The hoarders and the squanderers
Eternally at war.
Prostitutes of wealthiness;
The Filthy Frugal Corps.
Your golden-plated bane.
Your ill-gotten gains.
You fall on your own blade.
The apple spoils the snake.
Brace yourselves, you wicked men;
Defilers of the cloth.
Guard yourselves and your riches, men
From the Lady Fortune’s Wrath

Your wealth becomes your burden.
Take up your jeweled sword.
The collar of the clerical;
The noose of pigs and whores.
