The PowerPoint illustrates the contemporary relevance of Chinua Achebe’s poem ‘Vultures’ by highlighting post-WWII examples of genocide across the world. The PowerPoint can also contribute to cross-curricular themes (moral and ethical issues etc.): lea. Vultures is a poem by Nigerian poet Chinua Achebe. It is a dark, sombre piece that focuses on the concentration camp Belsen and a Commandant that works there. It is a gritty poem that is hard to read due to the harrowing subject matter.

Chinua Achebe was born in the village of Ogidi, Nigeria in Western Africa in 1931. In the poems ‘presents from my aunts in Pakistan’, by Monica Alve, and ‘Vultures’ by Chinua Achebe, there is a use of colour, powerful imagery, various techniques and possible connotations to emphasise the particular setting, or the feelings of the particular person, and to also highlight the two sides in each poem.

In the greyness
and drizzle of one despondent
dawn unstirred by harbingers
of sunbreak a vulture
perching high on
bones of a dead tree
nestled close to his
mate his smooth
bashed-in head, a pebble
on a stem rooted in
a dump of gross
feathers, inclined affectionately
to hers. Yesterday they picked
the eyes of a swollen
corpse in a water-logged
trench and ate the
things in its bowel. Full gorged they chose their roost
keeping the hollowed remnant in easy range of cold
telescopic eyes..

Strange
indeed how love in other
ways so particular
will pick a corner
in that charnel-house
tidy it and coil up there, perhaps
even fall asleep - her face
turned to the wall!

..Thus the Commandant at Belsen
Camp going home for
the day with fumes of
human roast clinging
rebelliously to his hairy
nostrils will stop
at the wayside sweet-shop
and pick up a chocolate
for his tender offspring
waiting at home for Daddy's
return..

Praise bounteous
providence if you will
that grants even an ogre
a tiny glow-worm
tenderness encapsulated
in icy caverns of a cruel
heart or else despair
for in the very germ
of that kindred love is
lodged the perpetuity
of evil.[1]
