SPU Poetry Contest #4: A FORCE OF NATURE

GOOD_TIGER

An antelope within a leopard
Once said to me:
Cruelty has a human skin.

The wild cat is our sheperd,
As there is no deviltry,
When he makes that awful din.

O praise his godly fangs!
When he rips our flesh apart,
O Glory to the king’s heart!
We will endure so many bangs.

The beast runs untamed and untainted
With a soul as white as snow,
Can you hear how softly he whispers
Our names like a sad willow?

Wickedness has no claws, no tail, no jaw,
It ain’t cover in a dazzling coat.
Wickedness is naked and raw,
Like the dull little cries of a human tot.

S.C.R.I.B.E. for CHAOS REIGNS

This poem was written based on the theme: CELEBRATION.

Sort:  

Like it. Man vs. Nature as steward of the land.

Thank you! Yes, we're the intruders of a sort :)

Speaking of this. Here's a video a friend of mine put together in French:

Thanks, that's informative, had no idea hemp had such future in France :)

Might have just went down on Facebook. We'll see after the dust settles if Hemp batteries become a commercial reality.

Close one. Still in the Beta phase looking for investment. It's like Shark Tank. Need a proven business model generating revenue looking to expand. In the meantime the dude from this video working with actor Christopher Lambert. If you have some film ideas promoting sustainability and are currently living in Fance let me know and I'll pass along the information.

Ok, thank you :)

Wickedness has no claws, no tail, no jaw,
It ain’t cover in a dazzling coat.
Wickedness is naked and raw,
Like the dull little cries of a human tot.

Yeah..... Wickedness has no mind of it own

Thank you :)

Whoa, pretty intense. I like how it flips the narrative to see humans as the intruders and the ones who are cruel. Great work!

Thanks, very much appreciate it. I've learnt, reading William Blake, that the lamb and the Lion are equally innocent, as they both follow their nature. :)
