A Vultures Homily

I am vulture
My soul case may be repugnant,
However, I have every sawbones decimal
On my speed dial
Before any croacker decrees justice
On a soul case,
They confer with me

My logbook contains a docket
Of every Golgotha and slaughterhouse on the planet
I am on first name basis 
With every casket maker, mortuary Steward and proprietor 

I am the fiend no soul case wants to see,
Hear or dream about

My name send's shivers down the spine of mortals
I am a friend in need and indeed;
I am the curator in every country
Where war and conflict thrive
No one thinks of me
And no one want's me as a pet


I am the dark one; the dark continent
I am vulture, the patient one
