The Dollar Blind
What can you pay, to kill a duck
a pheasant, for the moment's blind
this archetype of sport confirm
my inner being to remind!
The song "somebody's mother" sign
the docket, yet the pride's incline
to jackets, road gear, orange hats
and vests, the docket must be fine!
My argument's not about food,
know certain trail marks understood
but wall to wall, the interlude
of creatures carcasses exude!
At just one truck stop, not intrude
more now of colored waters good,
the bubble up, the fast upgrade
it's energy, that buys the trade!
Is this our option to feel good
the conquering of nature's spirit,
I watch the ducks land on the lakes
and colors glistening, revere it!
It's hunting time, marching to glean
what's left of nature, guns just hoard
all life becoming beauties trade
in flowers, berries, purple glades!
Let these the seasons have their roll
I nourish once more the encore
the conservation in control
wildlife to wander, their time o'er!
Still places where the signs stand out
"No Hunting", "Private" and the like,
I know that even I'll be safe
In Spring, or Summer, Autumn's hike!
For that donation, to all else
I take a moment, reconcile
no gun wear waiting on my shelf
just ornaments of creatures while!
Would donate "Hope", the Dollar blind
still hides the feelings I revile
I guess I'll fast a turn and pray
Turks, Pheasants, Geese to reconcile!
