“everywhere we walk there are dead animals”

people don't like it

shout loud            shout often

it's the only way to be heard

shout loud            shout often

killers are out there

killing as they want

killing during lock-down

killing free

shout loud            shout often

like song lyrics

accompanied by a chorus of

complimentary chords 

I I could catch the pellets

the leaden peppercorns of death

then I would

unperturbed killers are out there

undisturbed until now 

allow the ‘sky-dancers’

to fly freely

shout loud           shout often

Footnote: To date forty-three Hen Harriers,

The Sky-Dancers - all satellite-tagged

are missing, presumed dead.
