Feast of Betrayal

She was chosen to lead them
Today on this special hunt.
Today's hunt is special because
She and they knew that strangers
Were camping in these jungled areas.
Even better: they knew exactly where
The strangers were.
Naked except for body paint to
Not only appease the gods
But to disappear amongst the foliage.
This was hers and their home.
Their hunting grounds and
The most dangerous game
Awaited them just feet away.

Three were captured alive,
One was killed when he reached
For his machete.
She leads her hunting party
And their meal back to the village,
Where song and dance can be heard.
News must travel fast.
She and the hunting party
Begin to hum then chant
As they grew closer home.
Tonight, they feast.

As it was her first hunt as leader,
She gets to choose who they
Fillet first.
Of the three, she picks a man with
Short hair and a beard that wore glasses.
Struggle as he may, the hunting party
Get him on his knees, head held up,
And a blade across the throat.
Blood spurts with each dying heartbeat,
Gushing freely from the wound.
Before the man dies,
The leader takes her freshly sharpened
Stone blade and stand it
Into his gut.
Lifeless, the man falls over
As the party cheers and begins
To hack and chop off pieces of meat.

The last two survivors had their limbs
Pulled free from their body,
Staying alive long enough
To watch the tribe of natives cook
Their limbs over a raging fire.
The leader still has yet to take a bite
And the tribe is slowly beginning
To notice.
Before she could make another demand,
A much larger member of the hunting
Party stops her and holds
Up a freshly charred arm.
She refuses to take a bite.
Before she could react, the tribe
Jumps onto her and ties her down.

Limbs spread open tightly,
The much larger Hunter now the leader
Carves open the female hunter
And reaches into the incision.
He pulls out her small intestine
And begins to eat it in front of her eyes.
She screams in agony,
Her vision dimming.
Before her last breath, she watches as
The rest of the tribe begin to
Devour her alive.
