Children taught to hunt

given a rifle and told to take aim

the parents of these children

how they inflame

the senses of normal kind

innocent souls

who know what is right

and exert some controls

clearly this child

of angelic repose

gets a smile from her dad

and of course she then knows

she picks up the rifle

points it and aims

a two little animals go down in flames

why does this happen

you could say aloud

its karma

will it harm her

from the madding crowd

staring and wondering

whats in her heart

and why she can’t say no

and not even start

youthful and wanting to please

probably

or a bit of a shit on the quiet

we can’t see

we can surmise

that the animals shot

clearly themselves were

in the wrong spot

a set of circumstances

none  know for sure

whatever it was

we shouldn’t ignore

the parents who ought

to put parameters down

but clearly are useless

and just let her drown

in the essence of youth

with a gun she can fire

at some innocent animals

who quickly tire

they tell her she’s good

she is trying to please

her dad possibly

who now hides in the trees

an inglorious creep

who should really be shot

and hung out to dry

for there isn’t a lot

of sense in his head

that’s if you ask me

its a cold prison cell

where this dad should be
