Playground .

Rational thought :   Piggy with “ flashing glasses ”
Brought by “ flashing-eyed ” Athena .
The release of Promethean fire,
Isolation from modernity :   the adolescents .

Savagery at the core of humanity
Against the impetus forward into day—
The rapid fall toward the void
— marooned boys:

Quick dissolution of order .   Ralph sheds his clothes
In the sunrays .   Clothing marks walls;
The conch calls—the ocean lost .
Jack [ the unbridled force ] controls troops :
Jackboots against the sun .

Simon sees the beast coming .   Crucifixion .
The feast of the hunt ;  pig becomes
The Lord of the Flies :   Beelzebub .
The tribal drumming swells

Barbarous .
