The Dance of the Savages
As the sun descended in the brilliant evening sky
On the beach seven silhouettes roamed by
Next to each other side by side
Under mutual rules which they abide
The gentle waves of the sea splash
Bringing forth a magnificent structure
And despite the stench of the nearby trash
It was aromatic and that was for sure
Slowly but surely, the structure floated to the shore
And the silhouettes were stirred like never before
They charged and jumped and crawled and leaped
Wanting to come in first, not second, not third
One of them reached it and took a bite
Another snatched it with all his might
To back off and divide, some of them tried
But in the end, nobody lived through that night

This piece may seem like nothing much, but I poured my thoughts about these recent conflicts on this world. As radical as my beliefs may be, I really do think that each party in this world is acting like one of these beasts in the poem. I hope people will see how problematic and even inhumane our ignorance is.
