DOMINION OF DEATH 💀 OVER ALL CREATION

in #poetry7 years ago

"I am a puny part of the great whole.
Yes; but all animals condemned to live
All sentient things born by the same stern law,
Suffer like me, and like me also die
The vulture fastens on his timid prey
And stabs with bloody beak the quivering limbs;
All's well it seems for it
But in a while
An eagle tears the vulture into shreds
The eagle is transfixed by shafts of man
The man, prone in the dust of battlefields
Mingling his blood with dying fellow men
Becomes in turn the food of ravenous birds
Thus the whole world in every member groans
All born for torment and for mutual death."
