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
