Vulture Of The World

It sits there watching, like death itself

Like something long forgotten at the back of a dusty shelf

Watching, yes, with its beady little eye

Death is creeping closer and closer to make you die

This land so barren, bone like and void, cold

Feathers, ruffling, vulture like, empty and bold

Waiting for you, me, and the world so vast and wide

What is it, that will soon smile and say they've all died

Vulture, from the wasteland where no graveyard exists

While you die you'll know no one will remember you despite your wish

The vastness of destruction, all will be gone in one great swallow

So pretend now while in your foolish lives you can still wallow

There, vulture launching out from man made wastelands

Spread upon the entire world death has won its plans

Useless screams and useless tears from so many eyes

You should have listened, learned, too late now to become wise

You are most welcome.

Whoa...that was intense. And chilling.

After reading this, I would have to say that the "Vulture" is the manifestation of human hate and gluttony. It is us.

Very well written.
