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

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.

There's a lot of great lines in this poem. Was the "Overboard humanity is thrown" a Jonah reference? Awesome rhyme! 7

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

I bear the same sentiments n feelings in my epic latest. Man is our greatest predator as u say so poetically in brevity. Unique rhyme scheme I liked lots. Thumbs up. Pls do review my latest as well.
