Slaughtered Christmas Trees Poem by O Anna Niemus

Slaughtered Christmas tree
hung with ornaments
Murdered buck's antlers
hung with coats
A gorilla's hand turned
into an ashtray
and sold at the Safari Club
convention
Bears shot.. their
skins used as rugs
by those insecure about
their own masculinity

(Matthew Scully describes several kinds
of animal torture in the book he wrote
after he could no longer find it in himself
to write speeches for George Bush)
