THE MEGAPHONE
Found poem from William Golding's Lord of the Flies.
Pages: 6-17, 45-53, 91-101
The megaphone?
The man with the megaphone?
Where's the man?
Silent, a gleaming tusk
fading pink, spiral twist, covered
embossed, delicate
right to speak
beginnings of power, shaking the mountain
calling an assembly
I've got the conch
I've got the conch
Link with the world of Authority?
Cradling the conch, cradling
Take the Conch
The conch, he began to blow
savages appeared, they carried spears
moving among the trees
Mock hunting, hysterical laughter
real terror
Stop a minute!
right to speak
beginnings of power, shaking the mountain
calling an assembly...
He's got the Conch!
