Scavengers hone in
Approaching on decay
The meat and tasteful victory
That lie around today
Consumption of the essence
The aroma of false success
Inhale the sickest savor
But the glory due contest
Fraudulent furitive fiend
In a surpious savvyless scam
Lying and making your own
What others have earned by their hand
Carousal which pretends to be yours
Though it's not something you earn
Your deceptive aspersion of lies
Will merit what you must learn
A lesson so sweet life'll teach
Somethings that your owed in excess
The plot that you sow you will reap
But it's thievery you won't confess
You'll credit yourself though it's fake
And consume whats rightfully mine
You'll pose as a heroin strong
But truth will come out in time
Author notes
Prompt-
“Now the vultures have come to feed
With chests thrust forward, proud
Thinking they are gladiators tall
That the kill was theirs, basking in glory”
---from Glasyalabolas's ‘The Vulture And The Lion'

I like the rhyming here, it gives it a good lyrical quality, coupled with the subject matter, to me, it makes the words and meaning a bit more sharp, more cutting, which is excellent.
Good write.
