How malevolent
how misanthropic
using crossbows
persecution
animals in the throes of life
can expect what is such strife
outrageousness
From evil folk
killing really let us soak
In the blood of souls
wild feral souls
and in the South We see
crossbows ancient ugly weapons
such barbarity
a state with vile intentions
and malediction too
i hate to see this happening
doing what they do
their ominous deterrent
utter vulgarity
stop this weapon being bought and sold
it must not be
wild animals
their purity
be guarded
with good will
imagine a bolt in one’s flesh
Behold the awful kill.
