Vultures<br />

The poet describes two vultures – how they eat<br />

the corpses of other animals, yet also seem to live<br />

together as an affectionate couple.<br />

This situation is compared to that of a Nazi<br />

commander – murdering people in a concentration<br />

camp during the day, yet becoming a loving father<br />

in the evening.<br />

The poem asks us to consider whether evil exists<br />

in all of us, or if even the most evil beings are<br />

capable of love.
