    Tamerlane

    Despot, murderer of innocents,
    who is this shadow of God,
    ghost of the shepherd's camp,
    thief of the prophet's fame?

    A dog of war
    who howls and calls it peace
    and, in his blaspheme,
    spits the name of God,
    naming evil good.
    you are my left arm

    He was responsible for the deaths of
    at least 10 million people. Naming your
    son for him is like naming your son Hitler.

    Or it could be more like naming your son Alexander or Julio.

    A good poem, but I think blasphemy rather than blaspheme would be more appropriate to the way the lines are phrased.
