Poetry Slam

Here is a poem that I found really interesting, and while it is a bit disturbing the hidden meaning behind the poem gets you thinking. I had to memorize and analyze this poem my senior year in high school.

In The Desert - Stephen Crane

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter - bitter," He answered.
"But is like it,
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
