Vulture

This write is not to judge, but deter. An ode to all vultures.


             You're like a person hover
                amidst of fluffy cloud.
      Some look up to you as a potent,
          but you are brittle in nature:
           your act is like of dark spot
       that hid behind a glittering light.

           I know you're strong, but
         you have not admitted that.
      Use your inner power; you might
           even stronger than those
           you jealous with passion.
  You rested your mind upon others strength,
           Pirating perspiration: an act
       of deteriorate others strength.
       A   poison  to their  mind, even 
              if they are speaklees, 
                tis already a curse.
              
            You had better pull off
            before your time lost
       in elusive world of  prospect
         where your eye would wink
             In extreme shameless
   as a thief in amidst of millions eyes.

Laura Breidenthal September 8, 2015 at 3:12 PM "I know you're strong, but you have not admitted that. Use your inner power; you might even stronger than those you over jealous of." I like that you sopeak personally to the vulture Afolabi... " In extreme shameless as a thief in amidst millions eyes."...WOW...powerful lines throughout...

Laura Breidenthal September 8, 2015 at 3:12 PM continued.... I also really like these lines as well: "your act is like of dark spot that hid behind a glittering light." I think vultures are quiet in their better qualities...much like criminals. I am favoriting this awesome piece! Always, Laura

Constance La France September 7, 2015 at 8:57 AM AM, vultures are always lurking not just from above but in human form , like your write and thanks for visiting my poem, waiting . . . not fiction but my reality

Demetrios Trifiatis September 7, 2015 at 7:59 AM A vulture that snatches things that doesn't belong to him/her. A very descriptive poem that exposes the nature of Vultures. Very well expressed, my friend, Afolabi.

Andrea Dietrich September 7, 2015 at 2:28 AM the person below here saw the vulture as a woman. I am looking and can't find where you used a feminine reference. Anyway, I loved that imagery of the last stanza. Yes, there are too many vultures in our world today.

Michael Tor September 6, 2015 at 6:33 PM Very dark Afolabi. You convey her actions in a selfish theme. nice write
