People That Shake Up the Buzzards

If I were reincarnated, I’d want to come back a buzzard. Nothing hated him or envies him or wants him or needs him. He is never bothered or in danger, and he can eat anything.

                                           William Faulkner

we know who they are
do we  L - O - V - E  love them
could be
all the buZZ
we are after
becAUse
they shake our insides
out, make us think,
make us shOUt
others join in the madneSS
raLLy the cause
pick up pitchforkS
grab the torch
foLLow your lead

why is it dark?
who shut the door?

So busy shakin' that I haven't paid enough attention to buzzards, I guess. There's a whole lot of buzzin' goin' on, it seems. ~ Jerry Lee Lewis

Intriguing, Kim, I also like the quote, to shake people's perceptions can be dangerous, though (also not sure why some letters are capitalized?)

Letters highlighted to intensify the angst. Thank you, Michelle!
