Raptors

Those nine sad Raptors

shot and killed

by murdering scumbags

Their blood spilled

bundled up in bags

delivered to a gamekeeper who

saw their bodies dead and gone

what do people do

Misrepresent  their feelings

mendaciously they try

To pass the  buck to others

which is why these birds did die

handsome affirmations

beautiful to see

flighted angels on the wind

built so purposefully

Enigmatic beauties

unseen by the darkly vile

those who used their rifles

concealed  beneath some stile

underhand and sickly

demented dark and coarse

manifesting horror

Directly from  their source
