-scavenger - Poem by Aftab Alam

Circling, wheeling,
Made spiral,
Pin pointed,
Spread wings,
More span,
Spread Claw
Tried to pounce,
To eat dead's flesh
Picking,
Carcasses clean,
Ah, Vulture,
The friend of nature
The scavenger



Thinking, weaving,
Pushing a cycle
Reaching unending end,
Beyond the rings,
High ego span,
With sensual flaw,
Spoiling humanity,
Dancing, bouncing,
Trapping on web,
Destroying nature,
Ah, we human,
The enemy of nature
The witty scavenger
