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

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

Thanks Ken.

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
