Poem
The cornered animal lingers She’s deep within her cave Her hide and spirit broken By hunters out to slay A once proud and free animal Now cringes here in fright She has no fight left in her And howls throughout the night Her hide is all in tatters Her spirit no more free The hunters close in round her Her instinct is to flee She feels them move in closer She doesn’t want to die The nerves within her shaken Her heart still full of pride She’s hurting and confined there The blood oozing from her wounds There ‘s no help at all round her She knows the threatened doom The hunters move in closer She won’t die by their hands She sees some light between them And runs for all she can She reaches out the cave now She’s hurt and beaten through The blood is running freely The hunters in pursuit She knows the end is near then She has just no more strength Ahead she sees a cliff face Her chance this life to end It takes her all she’s got left She runs towards the cliffs She takes a flying leap there And finally feels she’s free The hunters reach the cliff edge And still they throw their spears She feels one rip into her They couldn’t let her be!! Her body in a heap now Below on rocks and stones It’s broken up and battered No life, no love, alone The Spirit of that body Now rises from those bones It sets off to the sunset To find another home What of the body left there What is it all about The hurts and pain it suffered Left it only one way out.
