The Big Philly Experience: Quiz-Othello Vocab

Lord of the Flies Poem

The Lord of the Flies

Shadowed island memoried comes flying out of time on gruesome wings of pages; this book of words comes buzzing, comes cloying, comes tripping, shafting dripping images in my mind. In my shadowed mind I see a tribe of boys turn bestially from the rites of humankind, as they dine, free as pigs unfettered run, I hear the thrum of hooves on hearts; and homemade darts invade my head, the dancing, prancing animals progressed to Mankind’s principals, remade by Nature’s laws to be—undesirables. The fly-torn Lord picked up his sword and clove my naïve mind; and so was story wove.
