A/N Recently wrote this for my English class. It's a Found Poem with some quotes from Chapter 12: Cry Of The Hunters. It is a spoken word poem about the final chapter and I got 100% on it, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord Of The Flies. If I did, Simon wouldn't be dead :(
Don't ScreamPiggy, Simon – Killed
By Jack
Purposely
No, they aren't as bad as that
It was an accident
They're still humanBut still,
Two, killed
Their bodies gone
Just like their souls
They left me
Alone, hiding, running
I heard their chant in the distance
Kill the beast!
The familiar chant
How Simon was killed
Cut his throat!
The rhythm picked up
Spill his blood!
Repeated
Again.
Again.
Again.
I saw two figures running in the distance
Two, gripping spears
Samneric
They're part of the tribe now
Savages like the rest
But maybe not
It's only me, RalphI spoke
They told me things
Awful things
Roger tortures them
They are afraid
Of Roger, of Jack
They're hunting me now
I hid
I heard a savage speak
Roger sharpened a stick at both endsGibberish
But I ran away to hide
I saw a pig's skull in the ground
On a stick
Sharpened at both ends
Running once again
I needed time to think
Think, think
Piggy could think
But Piggy was dead
The conch smashed to powder
Gone
Like our rules
Like our civilization
Like my life
I hid again
Not very well
I saw a foot approach
Don't screamHis leg came into sight
Don't screamA torso, a face
Don't screamHis eye caught mine
He saw me
I noticed his stick
Sharpened at both ends
I screamed
I ran
I smelled smoke
The island was on fire
They were trying to smoke me out
I had no choice
It would work
I kept running
But gave up all hope
Surely they'd catch me
Kill me
And put my head on a stick
Like the pig
I was almost out of the jungle
I tripped
The pack of savages drew closer
I looked ahead
I was on the beach
In front of me was a naval officer
With a boat
Here to save me from my terrible fate
Fun and gamesHe said
Jokes about us having a war
But we were
Two had died
Piggy
Simon
They were killed
By Jack
I looked at him
He knew
He knew it was all his fault
He was responsible for the savagery
For the deaths
For everything
He started to cry
As did the other former savages
As did I
I cried for what I had learned on this island
I learned of the darkness of a man's heart
I cried for my loss of innocence
But most of all
I cried for my loss
My loss of my true, wise friend
The loss of Piggy
A/N: What do you think? I am planning a real LotF story right now, so would anyone actually want to read it? Reviews are greatly appreciated!
