They say the beast was driven out of heaven,
And like a leopard, prowls the earth for prey.
It has four heads, though some claim sight of seven.
It wears ten crowns engraved with blasphemy.
What creature past or present can compare
To the one who boasts the teeth of lion kings,
But with mighty haunches of a bear
Leaps,lupine to soar on eagle's wings?
No legion made of men can it beset,
So nations war and strive to win its favor.
Every Ceasar wants it for a pet,
Every superpower for a savior.
All, save the sons and daughters of Abraham,
Who into its carnassial grin send a Lamb.
And like a leopard, prowls the earth for prey.
