Hey Nonny No
by Robert Hayden

Lord Riot
naked
in flaming clothes
cannibal ruler
of anger’s
carousals
sing hey nonny no
terror
his tribute
shriek of bloody class
his praise
sing wrathful sing vengeful
sing hey nonny no
gigantic
and laughing sniper on tower
I hate
I destroy
I am I am
sing hey nonny no
sing burn baby burn
