Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Trump repeals another Obama law, this preventing hunters from shooting bears and wolves hibernating in their dens.

Of Cain and Canis

Let them sleep
Do not let hunters
Into dens creep.
Predator kin predator
Mothers and babes
In your safe harbor
Killed without grace.
Who amongst us
Will let this take place?
It's the man on the throne
With the lobbyists' ear;
Overboard humanity is thrown
As no more dangerous
A predator exists
In our world on this ark than us.

Poetprentice Dupins April 2, 2017 at 1:02 AM There's a lot of great lines in this poem. Was the "Overboard humanity is thrown" a Jonah reference? Awesome rhyme! 7 Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart April 2, 2017 at 7:04 AM Thank you dear! No, not that deep ;) overboard referring to the boat with all our precious cargo, and well, all of the implications of the word overboard. Thanks for the 7! xomo
