We are the game birds.
Violence are our hunters.
Guns and armaments,
deliver brute, bloody deaths.
Men love killing each other.

Yes, that was a tragic subject, but it’s actually what happens. I set these words up hoping that a male would enter into the tanka challenge.

I appreciate the need for hunting, when there’s need. Mostly, I think we should hunt with loaded cameras. Terrific teaching for the day, sister.

Rosema, a very powerful poem. Your last line is so true. I have met some of these people who kill for fun. It makes you wonder where society has gone wrong.

Your last line nailed it. And how easily all sides find justification to do just that… kill. Very tragic.
