Why Is The Vulture Bald? Poem by O Anna Niemus

Why Is The Vulture Bald?



It is not age which has made
The cadaver eating vulture bald.
His skullfeathers
have been ripped off in repeated sticking to
the gluey corpses into which he sticks his head.

**********************

(written re a Carlyle private equity
group war profiteer...Baldness is correlated to high uric acid in the diet
.. trioxypurine or preurine in animals' muscle cells.
Meat's trioxypurine is stronger than caffein which is
dixoypurine.)
All of us are in bodies getting older every second.
Time robs us all eventually of exterior beauty.)
