Hunting hurts

My dark paws danced on the forest floor 

My tail lightly brushed the shore

My teeth snarled

My ears curled

Clank! Clank! The monsters are here!

The hunters are here!

The squirrels hide

And the deer scream

I ran & I ran trying to hide

From the creatures following me

When did we deserve this?!?

I cannot dismiss it! 

But it’s too late, they're gone

They're gone with our heads as a trophy
