The Defilers + 

O endless idiocy of humankind! + 

O blatant dead that howl and scream and roar! + 

O strange dead things the worms have gambled for! + 

O dull and senseless, foolish, mad and blind! + 

How long now shall your scent defile the wind? + 

How long shall you make vile the earth’s wide floor? + 

How long, how long, O waiting ages hoar, + 

Shall the white dawn their gaping faces find? + 

O vile and simple, blind of heart and mind, + 

When shall your last wave roll forevermore + 

Back from the sick and long-defiled shore? + 

When shall the grave the last dead carcass bind? + 

O shameless humankind! O dead! O dead! + 

When shall your rottenness be buried? + 
