Consumed

Heavy weighted chains
Past indescretions
Hover over me
Like a vulture,ready,
Always ready
To glide down
On heavy wings-
To consume me.
Like the eagle that
Tears out the liver
Of Prometheus
I am not as cursed as he-
The pieces of my soul
That predator carries away
Stay gone

Awesome!!! You have some great talent!!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
