Bad enough you take my prey Or your guns scare it away Now you hunt me all the long day With your guns drive me away Safe in shadows where you lurk You let your rifle do your work One well-aimed shot- the bodies jerk As your bullets do their work Such a cowardly way to kill You slaughter all just at your will You track me down, wishing me ill The deer have died, just as I will Observing me with heartless eyes So confident: "That beast there dies." You look aside, where your gun lies And you repeat, "That wolf there dies." You aim for me, and I know not But then you miss- the warning shot! I flee for life, the trail hot Alerted by the warning shot As you give chase I know I'll die And as I run, I wonder why You so despise one such as I And so I run, not knowing why...
