It’s excruciatingly obvious
its violently proclaimed
its evil beyond imagination
And of course it’s blamed
for indiscriminate killing
of wildlife of the field
precious in the melting pot
and the explosive reach they yield
bears coyotes foxes wolves
are murdered by
these rather significant cyanide bombs
protecting cattle
why
the need to cause such trauma
Maiming the wildlife who
suffer terrible injuries
And the clueless who
are dealing with the meat trade
And the leather trade maybe
and these indiscriminate killings
are a bloody tragedy
its a torturous malady
how much agony is caused
death by suffocation
these murders should be paused
altering the wild life force
for the trade in meat
in death and yet more torture
For the profits of the elite
for me it’s wrong on all counts
Profiteering scum
it needs to stop completely
and we do need some
more sensitive petitions
and urgently proclaim
murdering our wildlife
is WRONG on all counts.
