Elizabeth Bishop Style Poem

Humans

Their skulls hold brains,
their arms hold veins,
and their blood is sweet when it rains.

They run in fear
when we walk near
and cower as they hear

our victims screams
flowing forth in vocal streams
as our blood lust teams.

They die slow,
one by one they go
and join our fabulas show.

The children crying
and their mothers lay dying
and the fathers are lying

as they promise safety,
but they are crafty
and the words satisfy

the childs need
and the fathers greed
and soon we feed.
