Caught Devouring - Deeds of Flesh

Left as five, returned as one

Searching for bounty

Their findings are plentiful

Greedily, he wants all for himself

He kills the others in their sleep

Low on food, or perhaps a twisted fetish

He eats their remains,

Then blames the four men’s death

On nature

On weather and wolves

Bodies supposedly maimed

By wild scavengers

But skeptics want more proof

Of how they died

Not believing

The possible

Anthropophagus

All are exhumed

For more research

Studies on the skeletal corpses

Tell a very different story

Butcher-like cuts on bone

Skulls fractures from hatchet wounds

On weather and wolves

Bodies supposedly maimed

By wild scavengers

But skeptics want more proof

Of how they died

Blows and cuts

To consistent between them

No animals could have left these marks

Found guilty of the murders

And sentenced to death

The first cannibal

Caught with forensic science
