Quatrain of Cuitlahauc - 256 - Yorktown Disciple

Quatrain of Cuitlahauc

19th Century ruler who succeeded
Montezuma II, Fought the Spaniards.
Died of small pox.

Straining to find the will of fortified
earth gods, the sword of spite
was swung by a pillaging
Spaniard.

Oh, kill thee, thy woman slayer,
herd the docile down the mountains
out to the thunderous
sea.

Leave no man alive, clear the
distrust from all rays of bloody
particulates and choke ye with a
lanyard,

I shall die, diseased and prostrate,
It felt good to slay one execrable
bastard so he couldn't flee.
