Al1ster


 Hi, welcome to Al1ster,

the world's best utopia,

all your troubles will be solved here,

today on our docket we have how to deal with orphans and delinquents:

 

Note:The state does not have dedicated housing for non-essential parties.

However, here in Al1ster, we pride ourselves in giving our lords and ladies a treat.

 

Extermination is a must here, for ones we cannot keep,

they crowd our streets and interrupt our meals,

smashing windows and crying while we sleep.

a nuisance they are.

 

Find them, and capture them,

make an example, and provide a show,

and always by the rope, blade, or hand,

every single one must go,

 

Do not hesitate,

for that would be a crime,

the ones who don't obey,

will not be seen for all of time,

 

So enjoy yourselves,

but please do not delay,

because in Al1ster,

no one can run away.
