Poetry About Lord of the Flies

In a conch shining on the beach, Lord of the Flies finds a visible shape. Smoke thinning above the island carries what ordinary speech leaves unfinished. Between glasses catching a dangerous sun and footprints circling the mountain, the heart learns to listen. Civilization is fragile when fear becomes a source of power, though the day rarely says so aloud. By night, rescue arriving too late for innocence becomes a promise rather than an ending.

Smoke thinning above the island enters the poem first. Lord of the Flies follows, neither symbol nor explanation, but weather. Footprints circling the mountain keeps the difficult measure. We stand near a conch shining on the beach and let certainty loosen. Civilization is fragile when fear becomes a source of power. Rescue arriving too late for innocence remains after the room grows quiet.

Someone remembers glasses catching a dangerous sun. Someone else names a conch shining on the beach and means an entire life. Lord of the Flies moves between them with patient hands. Smoke thinning above the island refuses to become only background. Civilization is fragile when fear becomes a source of power. At last, rescue arriving too late for innocence gives the silence somewhere to rest.
