Some feel undaunted to be called the huntress

The paths we follow
often came from parents
if parents had been hunters
then we may
have followed in their footsteps
that’s if we chose to follow
who we choose and why we choose
can stay
with us for a lifetime
it is possible
or we can shy away from what they did
go and do our own thing
maybe just the opposite
go fight for the animals
and bid
farewell to high fiving and the
blood and snot
to hear the huntress talking
as they do
of passion
of a vocation
and a life style
some how it just doesn’t all ring true

I think whilst I was sleeping
they were hunting
were preparing for the killings
as you do
as women I just didn’t see the reason
to kill a live soul
and to shoot it through
copying the men but trying harder
to be better to be faster to be there
shooting down the wildest the most dangerous
and doing it alone with much to spare

bow hunting in the jungles
in the forests on the plains
coming face to face with wildness
but holding tight the reins
takes a special courage
undaunted actually
ready always on the ball
for the coming savagery

they are coming from the woodwork
in Melissa’s shadow they
step into the lime light
aS the world blows her away
for me I see a women not a a killer but, well she
must be strong and powerful
but also needs to be

full on, on compassion
needs must as they say
a women should be saving
be standing in the way
not slaughtering the innocent
the ego rush and more
and gutting out and bleeding
and dealing with the gore

that’s the troll like hunters
the man tribe who we see
they make a mess of everything
and fall out of their tree
so many times they miss the prey
or maim it and it limps away
not a lot that we can say
except no one should be

taking on the wild ones where
they were put and though aware
of everything they surly must
not be shot down in the dust
they have lives and they possess
a sentient quality let us stress
to kill and maim the huntress must
overcome and so redress

the balance of uncertainty
the risks she takes
the misery
abroad within the confines she
fires over head
her angst to be
in conflict with her ego and
hopeful will understand

a huntress she ought never be
for saving life is a certainty
for taking life is a no women should
she should use her influence for good
don’t run alongside men and try
to emulate them that is why
the need is it appears to me
but let it go just let them be

I don’t approve of the huntress, she
does nothing actually for me
she kills, she maims, she stirs their soul
purposely to take control
to cut them down to size and see
them bleeding out unnaturally
that no place for the a women to be
but some do not agree with me

they want to end the lives of those
whose freedom really to expose
themselves to wind and rain and sun
creates a world and when its done
when they lie blood soaked and free
that’s where women want to be
peering into sullen faces
that they have put through their paces
getting colder by the moment
as their souls fly free
