The Breaking Of The Fast
The savage sacrifice
Has followed god's rules,
The animals suffered
In the morning cruel.
Now in the evening cool
They gather, hell's ghouls,
Blood dripping from their lips
Like red satanic jewels.

It's kinda scary. I really did like it. And it's great at the same time.
Thanks Maria, humans do terrible things to animals!
Interesting concept and it flowed nicely. Short and a little dark, I like it
Thanks for your comments Jezzy, the sacrifice of animals is certainly dark!
I didn't laugh on this one. But I frowned...
Thanks for your comment Derina, this is certainly not a funny poem, food for thought I hope!
Certainly food for though, nicely done though

Thanks you sprinkly, see you on the ark!
It never ceases to amaze me why a supposed God that creates all living things would actually find some stupid human sacrificing its creations to venerate him as something good. He's gone to all of that effort, just to have its throat slit by moronic man.
I loved the last two lines, very visceral.

Thanks Sharief, yes animals seem to better behaved then a lot humans, they don't kill for pleasure like we do, and I think they are treated very badly by us at times!
