    Poem Commentary

    Thanks Asha for the advice. :)

    Majestic One

    A magnificent noble beast

    He wanted some green grass to eat

    His heart became a big, bloody mess

    Leaving the stench of rotting flesh


    A male moose brought down with a shot

    Just left beside a stream to rot

    Once he fought for the right to mate

    Now he has become vulture's bait


    What a shame. What a tragic waste

    A mistake made that can’t be erased

    God gave us this majestic one

    A life ended by hunter's gun

    powerful write and ohh so true, very sad indeed, bravo! So sad how man ravages and plunders mother nature's resources and the animals of God's kingdom for our own admusement and pleasure, sad beyound the words of explanation. It is so much more than a shame, it is a travestry! Purity of the soul, journey well!!! with grace and humility ANGEL- POB for life! A blind man walking...

    Bravo my friend. I detest the senseless killing of God's creatures. Killing done in the name of sport. What kind of sick sport is killing a defenseless creature then leaving its body to rot? Very eloquently said. Thanks for the share...Kevin.

    The hunters probably didn't intend to leave the moose to rot. They didn't have the means to drag the moose home. Poor planning. Thanks for the comment.

    I shot a rabbit with a pellet gun when I was young. I felt very bad, and I have never shot anything since. Thanks for the comment. -Moot

    Moot .. You hit a subject that burns me! :( I have no respect for these idiots. The senseless killing of any living creature is heartless and evil in my eyes. A very sad write my friend indeed. :( Ken

    Thanks Ken.
