Its awful what we are witnessing
the recreation of a child
who will stomp soon on its victim
a Raccoon that is wild
its had no place to run to
its at our mercy and we
are going to bash its head in
till its eyes pop frantically
or do what dad does
grab it
and shoot it between the eyes
blow its bloody head off
this will make you wise
say you understand the reason
why this soul must die
because you have the upper hand
which shouldn’t mystify
anyone into thinking
you don’t have the right
any animals that you choose
is fair game day or night
you have to learn to do it
be the killing man
aim and shoot to kill it
dead and chuck it in the van
