I think a vulture is nothing more than nature’s refuse collector. It’s good that they’re around. Nature has come up with clever ways to prevent disease. It’s a shame that people are ruining it.
It’s not a lack of courage, but a good dose of patience that’s needed to wait for a meal, whilst hoping that no others are lurking nearby, such as the hyena...
And they make fear present, torn to pieces by it, and though patient they are, how much restraint can they have before the veils break? They get there.
Patience isn’t always a virtue. Fighting is better than going down in silence. Waiting for a saviour is a lost cause. Anyone can make it; the only question is which price weighs heaviest. It’s not easy to keep a clear head and ignore the "hunger".
