Animal totem engraved in flesh and fear .
Incantations ,bewitchment ,
ancestral totem ,tribal violence,
exhilaration .
Storm and tornado ,
warrior totem ,
hints of leather ,steel and grease...
The servile herd mourns
its disembodied identity ...
Ember totem ,
crowds frozen in amber ,
poets and thinkers at the totem of infamy .
'' Just a minute Mr Butcher ,
let me love this carcass ! ''
Gentle sheeps you'll all be imolated
even before you 've lived ,
your soul tied to the totem pole !

A deep symbolic feel to this poem. Totems archetypes in a Jungian style. Nicely done.
This Jungian inspired style can be found in many of my texts.Sensitive analysis !
How tragically little chance the “ gentle sheep” have of breaking out of the vicious cycle of fear and submission.
That's a violent.... and deadly, but splendid poem!
An idealized violence .
