SCAVENGER HUNT
Folder:
THE DRUNKENING
Bitten and scratched
the dove is hounded, wounded
Eagles soar above and watch
the helpless dove
The vulture attacks the fallen
prey
Scavenger off another’s work
Hitting low and hitting hard
always hitting in the back
Eagles soar above
paying little attention
to the trouble they see below
It just isn’t their problem to solve
Marvelous Metaphor
Exceptional use of heirachy and the politics of power distributio aligned with the need to preserve resources. Exquisite example that assumes a truth: Greatness is defined by the blood of the innocent.
