The Advocate
he fiercely champions animal rights,
and weeps over newts, snakes stuck
dead in black oil slicks, gruesome sights;
at night he agonizes over the dismal fate
of some endangered non-human species
for whose protection he's a rabid advocate;
but back in his bomber's cockpit he's cool,
wryly unleashing death missiles on cities,
on his face the smug smirk, grin of a fool;
he can calmly kill an entire population
for a war mission without compassion,
but wails hysterical over a tiger's extinction!
