Blame Not The Vulture - Τον Γύπα Μην Κατηγορείς Poem by Kostas Lagos

Blame Not The Vulture - Τον Γύπα Μην Κατηγορείς



Blame not the vulture

for it has never murdered

another creature

It only feeds

upon others' victims


Τον γύπα μην κατηγορείς

γιατί δεν φόνευσε ποτέ

άλλο πλάσμα

Μονάχα τρέφεται

από τα θύματα των άλλων

This makes me think of vulture-like characteristics of some human beings. They may not be vampiric, but they scavenge what system has extracted. The whole world can be viewed as a huge sky burial platform.

This is exactly the way I try to feel when I am eating meat: trying to feel less guilty! A great epigram!
