Dearest Mother,
I have done as you have asked - as you have instructed me to do
I have went, and seen and conquered - all you wanted to pursue

I have overthrown them all who insist to resist you,
Indeed, I've done you proud, I am pleased to assist you -

to show
your Beauty and your Power
over everything I touch.

With your Name,
I have showered them with us.

Raining down with pellets
       that they cannot help but take
            Sending down their thorny crowns
                 that they cannot ever shake
off.

Forever wear our brand,
We have Claimed them -

Colonial Copies sing Our
Anthem...

But what of us? They tend to ask.
Who can blame them?
We are but the ones who come,
Just to shame them.

We came, We saw, We conquered
and We Consumed Them.

I have ravaged for you, as you have asked me to
For you, I have stretched so wide
Spreading you out and through and through
Striding with a badge of Pride -
a badge
that shines
so faintly now
when amidst the bars
I hear their cries...

Mother, is this what you wanted?
Is this your prize?
