THE COWARD...

OF COURSE I AM A COWARD
Said the hunter
For I have a gun

And
The element 
Of Surprise

WHILE YOU
Have only
Your beauty

And free spirit
And your head
And your heart

Which I see clearly
In the sights of my gun
Which your terrified legs

CAN
NEVER
OUTRUN

OF COURSE I AM
A COWARD
Said the hunter....

Being a devout animal lover I find any type of sport hunting an abomination.
An act so cruel and ignorant.. that it is beyond my understanding why 
men would want to teach their children the  act of "sport" hunting.. In survival
mode one must do what one must. but that aint the case in trophy deer heads
and stuffed bear carcasses. Taking tusks for ivory and killing whales for lipstick blubber.. we go so into insane it isnt funny;
great write
felt it

We are a terrible species Violet, we have no need to hurt anything anymore, we do so for sport and fun and a ridiculous notion that we are somehow unique and above the world's eco system. We are animals ourselves and we are breaking the 'chain'...killing ourselves in the process. We are quite stupid in a lot of important issues. Thankyou, always nice to meet a fellow animal lover ?
