Avian Compassion

Avian Compassion


Revolting as the world can be

Another war another drought

No food no shelter empty shells

Displacement dire dereliction

Oblivious flies on broken skin

Macario the blessed one awaits


Knowing that there is no place

In agony has given up on life

No dreams no destiny just

Desert demise emaciated

‘Nothing’ forgotten cast aside

Eviscerated vulture fare the bird

Shares a mutilated random carcass

So much for human acts of kindness

Indeed, nothing compared to human acts of kindness, where vultures do anything but share the wrong acts. Congratulations on your placement, Kai :)
