A blast from the shotgun
and lead is explosive
a pheasant is torn into shreds
and appears
broken and dying
falls into a stream
dies there, the toxic lead
isn’t a dream
its the vilest of nightmares
its evil and they
the shooters for fun
well most walk away
a fox might devour it
and die from the lead
fish in the river
they too lie dead
lead is a killer
shooters to be
frank are the most arrogant
sods actually.
