They feast, hungrily,on the weakest:
the different, the far-too-young, the already-too-old, the defenseless, the poorest of the poor

Dismember
they greedily separate the meat from the bone, the soul from the heart
They chew
They burp
They spit...

Their names? Civil servant, Bishop, General, Immigration officer, Socialite, Imam, Prime minister, Rabbi, Police officer, Royalty, Dictator and even a little Businessman

under the shining sun

Cannons,

will take bets
while watching the ULTIMATE battle being fought.
