With dazzling heroics
He draws them from their seats
Roaring like wild animals
Who frenzy as they feed
Who tear the meat from bones
With sharply edged teeth
He taunts the constellation
He applauds himself as he feints
His feet dance over petals
He smiles with each escape
Until his Imperator signals
An end to the games

I think that people can be roughly divided into two categories; those who are appalled by them and those who are fascinated by Bull fights and other uneven fights between man and beast in a ring for entertainment. This is a powerful image!
