Dense and black
as a gathering of buzzards
startled and stacked

Kings of the feast
Set back to descend
To fall upon prey
and escort it to end

Dark ushers gather
And clatter their will
No portions appease them
Ruin merely a frill

Tear and divide
Be they beasts of the hunt
Set to destroy and decypher
In the heat of the front

No Time, no mercy
They work like a clock
Tangle and dismantle

Be they beasts of the hunt
Set to destroy and decypher

Yes SM, in a way. Most of it is a derived metaphor from the first line. I guess it depends on if you include that line or not in the whole/question. Thanks for the interest and reviews!
