Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

" STARVING LIONS " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO, ©

Like Starving Lions

Like a pride of starving lions,

lust's uncontrollable appetites fell upon the

herd of tamed virtues 

devouring them to the last

leaving behind only the carcasses

of lofty ideals

for

evil's scavengers to feast!
