Magi, Maga, Doge

Herod the Great, mongrel, Idumae
-an, Nabatean, (possibly half-jew
-ish, half-arab), plucked out for power by Cae
-sar, polygamous, hated by more than a few,
Said to the Magi: “Send me informa
-tion
stat that I may worship him.”  The Wise Men
Had doggedly tracked a star linking their way
to the king and his palace, but would not pass again.
Duke Herod, canalising anger, closed
The Venetian slats of his heart, ordered his min
-ions to ransack the mega databases, and imposed
His mangy algo  all to cry: “So win”.
Thus six million future innocents died
In this ungrokked AI genocide.
