PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Hunters have nearly made
bison extinct with their
bloodletting religion.
They've erased the Carolina
parakeet from the earth,
and blasted the passenger pigeon.
While these innocents' souls rose to God
their bodies were sent
to realms stygian.

Footnote:

Many have described the 'flocking' behavior

of the Carolina Parakeet. Like dolphins

they would not leave their hunter-injured

fellows and so their

demise was accelerated.
