Isolated For Slaughter by vcume(f): 6:14pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
From afar off The enemy lying in wait Spots its prey and earmarks it for a kill Prowling in the shadows Poised, ready to pounce and devour.The rabbit in her vulnerability and innocence Prances here and there Unknown, unaware of danger ahead Confused, defenseless in a bid to escape Scampers and scuttles down the borough to safety, but discovers a snare is laid. The predator in his cunning craftiness Lures out its prey. At the mercy of its captor falls victim and is brought down. At the draw of its last breath There is calmness in its eyes. So is the downfall of valiant and mighty men. N:B post comments on what you think this poem is talking about. http://projectlikeminds.com/isolated-for-slaughter/ |

vcume: This suggests naivety and the female gender assigned and the animal used to represent it makes me think of the standard cliche of an innocent girl. This part vcume: and this part vcume:also features the standard cliche of the male player. So on the surface level it appears to be talking about an innocent girl falling for the wiles of the man. The last part though does not fit in with this and the analogy falls apart. From that part it is supposed to be about the downfall of mighty and valiant men but the rabbit is neither mighty or valiant so I guess that it talks about naivety and gullibility on a general level and how it brings about one's downfall at the hands of enemies. |
