I Heard It on the Radio.
This coward loves to kill.
It is a sport to him…
He aims a gun and shoots
wild boar at will…
Where wild boar roam
he follows them..
The coward aims…
and one by one
the wild boar fall…
The sense of power
pleases him.
The coward needs a gun to kill.
He roamed
the woods again today.
A mother bear
was with her cubs,
in peaceful wandering
and foraging…..
The coward shoots to kill.
The unarmed bear
dies slowly…suffering.
Her small cubs panicking.
The coward leaves the scene.
His work is done.
The bear will never walk
the paths of Gaia’s
dying Earth again.
The coward loves to kill.
