African Vultures Poem by Gert Strydom

African Vultures



Around and around they move, turning,
as big specks in the bright blue sky
before they suddenly descend one after another
with wild wings cutting as shining blades,
with heads stripped bare and necks stretched out
when they screech and hobble along to rotting meat.

a disturbing scene is well described! I thought that you are going to write something regarding your country. Any way, it is different..still OK..
