The dangers of this world and what is in it?
Precisely why you need a god like me!
(but bear in mind: I rarely work for free).
Now, many call for skulls, or thrones of gore –
a sacrifice before they offer favour:
your firstborn plus two hundred fattened boar,
(your daughters to be auctioned off to slavers).
Not me. I simply state: laws should be obeyed –
those formal codes of manners and convention.
If you behave, then count upon my blade,
to execute that lifelong intervention:
defending you in war and hostile strife;
assuring you a long and healthy life.
AWB
