Such Beauty Is To Be Raped? Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Such Beauty Is To Be Raped?



Such beauty is to be raped?
What pleasure for the Human to rape birds?
[That is by doing the sexual act]
No, humans rape birds differently:
Though
These [birds] bethink them that they have
The power to escape human cruelty
By flying high and free
At airy liberty:
Till
A barrage of shots was heard from
The rocky land below where the birds
Upward winged towards the
Heavens:
And straight and linear fell
Those up-ward looking birds.
