Doest thou hunger?

Doest thou hunger?

Doest thou hunger?
Doest thou hunger?
Starve thee well, for this night we feast upon the wolf
For I shall slay him, but first I shall strip him naked
And flay the last ounce of skin from his body
Then watch the blood run from his finger tips

Doest thou hunger?
Then shall I whip him and chase him through the bramble thorn
But before I send him back from whence he came
Shall I split his skull asunder, and feed to him piece by piece
The very grey matter from whence his evil thoughts have come?

Doest thou hunger?
When he grovels on his knees and beseeches me for mercy
Shall I stave in his ribs one by one?
And crush his spine, bone by bone
Shall I place his eyes upon the mantel?

Doest thou hunger?
Then shall I tear his ears from his head and place them on my armour
Mayhap that he now shall hear our voices calling for solace
But best methinks is to place his cursed body in the mighty grinder
Then dry the pulp to powder, and spread it whence the wind will blow

DOEST THOU HUNGER???

Remember reader that when you read this poem think of the wolf as the government of my country, its head as our head of state and son, it is not a literal poem.

    I understood the metaphore before the readon of the last sentence about the goverment , and , if there would be 1 wolf i would do the same as you did , but honesly no matter how many wolfs we will slay

    there would be more and more coming
    with everyone you kill 2 will rise from the horizon and money my friend and power and turn magicly a lam to a wolf in a sec

    and you knwo what i mean

    very good poem

    This poem had some great word choice, I have to agree with that. It really gives the reader a detailed visual. Very vivid descriptions. The wording was the Shakespearean language, which I find hard to read at times.. yet that made the poem unique and I love how you did that with this poem. Anyways, very dark poem.. you did a great job with this. 5/5.

    Haha when you told me you had a darker poem than the previous one I read I didn't believe you but then I read this poem and WOWW! It's so powerful and full of emotion and it's so dark. It scared me a bit because you mentioned that there was a story behind it and that got me very curious so I continued to read but now Im afraid of what the story really is :/
    Your imagery was very good and the words you used leaves an impact on the reader. Well it did on me anyway!! I love the fact that you used Shakespearean language it made the poem very interesting and different to other poems that we may see on this site. It was a change :) Thanks for the read.
