The Circle

By charliebrown

Flesh eats flesh
From mounds of bones,
Some lay dead,
While others moan.

They fill their bellies
Good and stout,
A heart still pumps,
Rip it out.

Vultures prey
On half dead skin,
The circle meets
Then starts again.

    Very nice. Short, but a good read. It flowed so well and it made me shiver. I've never seen the circle of life played out in such a gruesome way before. I guess it is unforgiving. Write on.
