They spoke in languages I didn't understand
They smiled with glistening teeth
And had diamonds embracing their hands
They traveled in flocks like ravenous birds
Gusts of wind with each wingbeat
And sang in warbled words
They swooped and swarmed, their feathers ablaze
Buzzards surrounding me, their prey
And all I could see was a crimson haze
Their words were anything but kind
But to each other, they were saints
With darkness floating around their minds
