Killing and Killed

Killed by a hunter he was on his way home This bear in the words no longer free to roam One bullet from a rifle was I'm afraid all it took His grieving bear family wept tears and shook Killed by a hunter with a deadly harpoon spear This whale in the sea no longer free to swim here One aim to his body was I'm afraid all it took Ending up on the beach for gawpers to look Killed by a hunter with a knife to her chest This human life no longer free to eat or rest One stab to her body was I'm afraid all it took Nobody gives a damn to killing or gives a f**k
