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.

Interesting concept and it flowed nicely. Short and a little dark, I like it

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.
Cool quick poem with a powerful theme Tom
Yes sometimes I wonder who are the real animals ?
