Prayer For Henry VIII; The First Two Words Are Not Meant Profanely

God damn your foul soul, Henry Tudor, to the lowest Hell;

your name is worth less than a flea-bitten dog's latest turd---

and has left, on humanity, putrid, slimey smell.

Worse than your scheming father, who murdered Richard the Third,

you are a child molester, blasphemer, and mincing coward

who did not mind to plunge your country into Chaos' lurch

when you inflicted spiritual rape upon the Holy Church---

much as you did to that poor adolescent, Katherine Howard.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I used the bold typeface, with crimson tint, as a symbol of the blood that Henry's soul can never expiate; the blood of martyrs, of his marital victims, of the victims of his spite and envy---and most importantly, the blood of His Savior Whom he repeatedly rejected and refused.  The man who believed he was qualified to lead the Church behaved far worse than the worst of sinners outside the Church.
