Each individual has courage
commitment
and certain regard
for wildness and the realm of the animals
attaining such thoughts they work hard
up against money and killings
torture and arrogance too
land owners ignorant locals
who talk up tradition
are you
one of these clad in regalia
rubbing shoulders with the important lot
who take on wild foxes wild hares and wild deers
Gentrified robotic now’t tween their ears
horses for courses hounds doing the rounds
masked individuals jodhpurs and all
with a whip in their hand and their having a ball
the newish young army
of woodland and field
out in all weathers
trying to build
a splendid consensus
to protect the wild souls
to take on tradition
and exerted controls
to fight the good fight
warriors they
ruled by their hearts
with a will to display
wonderful characters
infinite wealth
mindsets of courage
all done without stealth
they remain in their place
their souls in the job
of protecting the wild souls
the others all rob
to all the saboteurs
we love you
for your outstanding efforts
