To me the planetary powers to be
apparently decide
that the wild folk that frequent
our woods
their lives should be denied
creation made them possible
that they were born to be
part of the eco system
but now sensationally
the governments around the
world
have deemed that they must die
drop shit from the aircraft
raining from the sky
or go out with sharp shooters
pumping sodding lead
or take out squirrels any way
as long as they are dead
perhaps one day when animals
have died out and we see
they added value to our world
and it was us unfortunately
that completely ruined everything
in our greedy arrogant way
of thinking we were superior
and everything else could pay
and that’s about the shot of it
we were very good at that
a world now full of psycopaths
and not a dog or cat
not a badger or a fox
no weasels minks or Deer
nor any thing with any value
the story’s loud and clear
by a big god than those
who want to now destroy them all
