Getting inside the heads of hunters

Who are these people
set on killing wildlife?
what sense is there
in doing it anyway
the fact they have a rifle
or a crossbow
doesn’t mean you’d use it
everyday
and if you have so much
sophistication
surely you’d see
a collar, anyway
your killing for the
sake of it
it seems to me,
a man who kids himself
that he’s a hunter
purely looks at wild life really for
his intent on killing
he would do it for a shilling
its something in his head
that sparks a war
between his sane accomplishments
and slaughter
down the sights what is it
that he sees
an innocent soul a foraging
for food to feed its gut
or the enemy now skulking
in the trees

for anyone to take aim
on a wild soul
in the forest for a reason
just to blow, its life away
is not a work of innocence
its more
to do with malice
with the hurt and on this basis
the foray
into what is after all, the creatures
territory
born and raised and clearly
there to feed
to take them out really so
aggressively
to me smacks of an imbalance
and in a nutshell where do
such acts lead
death is death
an innocent has paid with theirs
they were where they live
there was no crime
the hunter went and hid
and in that moment lifts his lid
and kills or maims
a soul
and will serve time

not in some dark dungeon
not incarcerated in some cell
but in the minds of
those who love the creatures
hunters murder
and in etheric channels
I hear tell
where karma builds
extensively and payments
are soon sought
from those who share
frustration and turn it
into sport
