Who Kills Who? .... [kill Or Be Killed? ] Poem by Chuy Amante

{How do you like that punctuation Bri? }

Do you kill to protect your food source?
Do you kill to prevent further force?

My hens feed me in the outback
they chirp love but do not quack

I love my girls, I let them roam
all is well if they stay home

This morning early there was a squawk
not the way they usually talk

I hit the floor running,
knew I'd be gunning
something was attacking my food source

Rifle in hand this is rugged land
I burst right thru the door

Surprise! a biiig cat, licking her lips
three cold shots right from the hip

I hate killing it tears me up
without my girls, there'd be no sup

fear not, I waste nothing
