Dont talk to me
or preach aloud
the biblical approach
a boy a girl a baby
how can a pure soul broach
such a conflicting story
of compassion and empathy
with children in your aura
and a your victim by your knee
seconds before enjoying life
this ungulate of old
was feeding and was needing
its sustenance of gold
eyes looking every which way
a heart resolved to joy
no doubt thinking
wondrous thoughts
and hopeful to employ
himself across the myriad plains
till the pastor ambled by
his rifle at the ready
and his bible
asking why
thou should not kill
thou should not
but why not its a thrill
to see a wondrous living soul
crash down and just lay still
its great heart stopped a’sunder
its blood not coursing through
a subject for a family photograph
which is what you do
when you pulled your trusty trigger
and sent that ball of steel
rushing through the air
for that moment
it was real
it smashed into that animals chest
destroyed its very gait
sent it sprawling into oblivion
at a fair old rate
and there beside your children
you sport your evil gun
you sit with them
you make them smile
we wonder what you’ve done
really for christianity
for Jesus for us all
you cut down in its prime
this wondrous beast
you bloody fool
I can have no respect at all
for anyone who feels
they have the right to take a life
for honest it reveals
and arrogance afore thought
a psychopathic streak
professing at a rate of knots
to a simple fit of pique
when infact your the devil incarnate
and who would, argue with me
the beast that you have killed
the animals that now miss him
all that blood you’ve spilled
and for what
what was the purpose
for you did end a life
and karma’s waiting for you
around the next bend
in your life
and you can pray to heaven
you can pray all day
the fact is you took your gun
and you blew a soul away
in front of tiny children
you found the need to kill
concocting some sad reason
and thus you will be paying till
all the victims relatives
have come and gone for they
must suffer grief because of what you
did for them today
the woeful state they experience
its all because of you
so think hard about Jesus
see if he gets you through
